The last two things Quan made were the MEXICAN CORN and the SALMON TOTOPOS

THE SALMON TOTOPOS

Chimichurri sauce
Red onion

Place tortilla chips on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray
Warm tortillas for 5-6 mins
Drizzle Chimichurri sauce and place a piece of smoked Salmon on the chip
Sprinkle on Queso Fresco cheese and red onion
Top each chip drizzle of Avocado ranch.

MEXICAN CORN

Ingredients:
1 ear of corn, husk on
Cotija cheese
Tajin Classic Seasoning
Mayonnaise
Salt
Pepper

Directions

Place the corn in the microwave, do not remove the husk. Microwave the corn on the high setting for 4 minutes. Note that every microwave is different. If this timing over-cooks the corn in your microwave, reduce it to 2 to 3 minutes the next time.Use a kitchen towel or pot holder to remove corn from the microwave (it’s hot!) Cut off the bottom of the corn, stem end, about one row of corn in from the stem. Slip off the husk and silk.
