Shuck corn. Take care to make sure all silk has been removed
Use a sharp knife and the two bowl method to remove the corn kernels from the cob
Stack the bacon slices on top of each other
Make a slice down the center of the bacon and then cut across the bacon to dice. The diced bacon should be about a half-inch in length and not much wider than the width of a pencil
Dice your sweet onion
Roughly chop the jalapeno rings to break them up slightly
Preheat your Blackstone Griddle to medium-high and set it for two-zone cooking
Render the bacon first, cooking it to about 80% done
Slide the bacon to the cool side of the griddle
Saute the onion in the bacon grease for three minutes
Add the jalapenos to the onion and cook for an additional three minutes
Slide the jalapeno and onion to the cool side of the griddle
Add the corn to the warm side of the griddle and saute for two minutes, stirring constantly
Add a tablespoon or two of water or oil if the corn seems to be sticking to the griddle
Saute the corn for about 5 minutes, then combine it with the bacon, jalapenos, and onions.
Cook for an additional two or three minutes to combine the flavors
Serve in a bowl and optionally garnish with Cojtilla cheese, lime juice, and Tajín Clásico Seasoning
