Directions

  • Step one

    Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in a large frying pan over medium heat and add in the onions to caramelize, about 15 minutes.

  • Step two

    Once the onions are browned add in the red peppers and corn and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat until they become lightly browned.

  • Step three

    Next, add in the drained tomatoes along with the cumin and chili powder, and stir and sauté for 2 to 3 more minutes.

  • Step four

    Stir in the flour until completely combined and then add in the milk. Bring the mixture to a boil and let thicken.

  • Step five

    Once boiling turn the heat to low and stir in the salt and pepper. Note, the mixture should be as thick as alfredo sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro. Serve hot.
