CHIPOTLE CORN SALAD WITH GRILLED BACON

Steps:

• Carefully peel back the husks from the corn without detaching them from the bottom. Remove the silk from the corn, fold the husks back around the ears, and soak the ears in water for 30 to 45 minutes.

• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Drain the corn, open the husks, and dry the ears with paper towels. Fold the husks back over the corn and grill, turning often, for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning 3 times.
• While the corn is grilling, grill the bacon on the other half of the grill until crispy and golden brown and the poblanos and scallions until charred. Remove all items and set aside.
• Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cob, finely dice the scallions, seed and dice the poblano, and chop the bacon into bite-size pieces, placing everything in a large bowl. Mix in the bell pepper and onion.
• Whisk together all the dressing ingredients in a medium bowl.

CHARRED CORN, CHICKEN & TORTILLA SALAD WITH CHIPOTLE YOGURT DRESSING

Steps:

• Mix 1 tbsp paprika, the oregano, 1 tbsp chipotle, cinnamon, garlic, lime zest and 2 tbsp oil together in a bowl with some seasoning. Pour over the chicken thighs, turning to coat, then cover and chill for at least a few hours, or up to 24 hrs.
• Light the barbecue and let the flames die down, or heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Mix the yogurt, lime juice, the remaining oil, ½ tsp paprika, 1 tsp chipotle and the honey with a pinch of salt. Set aside. Brush the corn cobs with a little oil, then cook it and the marinated chicken on the barbecue or in the griddle pan for about 10 mins, turning often until the chicken is cooked through (it should be charred and firm to the touch - check it's done by cutting into one of the thickest pieces) and the corn is bright yellow and juicy.
• Transfer the chicken and corn to a board or plate and cover to keep warm. Arrange the lettuce, beans, tomatoes and avocado on a large platter or in a serving bowl, but wait to toss together until just before serving - this helps keep the lettuce leaves from wilting.
• Cut the wraps into strips or small pieces. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan and fry the strips until crisp and golden, then drain on kitchen paper. Sprinkle with salt.
• Slice the cooked chicken into 1cm strips and cut the charred corn from the cob. Add to the salad, then drizzle over the dressing and any juice from the chicken and toss. Scatter over the coriander and crispy tortilla strips, and serve with the lime wedges on the side.
