INSTRUCTIONS
Blend 1/2 cup corn kernels and 1 tablespoon cornmeal in processor until
moist clumps form. Add 3/4 cup corn kernels; process 10 seconds (reserve
remaining corn for another use). Transfer corn mixture to heavy medium
nonstick saucepan. Add 1/2 cup corn liquid, onion, bell pepper and lime
peel. Cover and cook over very low heat until thick and firm, stirring
often, 12 minutes. Mix in rice, cilantro, jalapeño, salt and cumin. Drop
1/4 of mixture onto each of 4 pieces of foil; press pieces into
3/4-inch-thick patties. Let stand until completely cool.
Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Spray both sides of burgers with nonstick
spray; grill until crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Grill tortillas until
pliable, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer tortillas to plates. On each
tortilla place 1 burger, 1/4 of sour cream and 1/4 of salsa. Fold tortillas
over to enclose.
Makes 4 Servings.
