Mexican Street Corn White Chicken Chili

This Mexican Street Corn White Chicken Chili is a delicious southwestern comfort food. It takes our love of Mexican elote and melds it with the flavors of our famous White Chicken Chili. While it is not "traditional" Texas Chili, as it has beans, it will be an instant classic in your household. My wife can't get enough of it in the cooler months of Texas Fall and Winter!

Tools

• Dutch oven or large heavy pot

Prepare the cooker
Prepare your smoker to 250 degrees. In this video we used a Traeger Woodridge with Meat Church Pellets which are a blend of oak and hickory. Most would also be good choices for this cook.

Prepare the soup
Heat a dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil. Add the onion and jalapeño and cook until softened.

Add the garlic, and cook for 2-3 minutes. 

Add chicken stock.

Add shredded chicken. Pro tip: season the shredded chicken with Meat Church Honey Hot Hot (jalapeño) as seen in this video.

Season with Meat Church Garlic & Herb to taste.

Add Meat Church Texas Chili Seasoning

Add Great Northern Beans, corn, cilantro and sour cream and lime juice.

Grate the cheese over the top. 

Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to make a slurry to help thicken the chili and add to the dutch oven. 

Stir it all to combine and bring to a simmer.

Simmer the Chili
Simmer the Mexican Street Corn White Chicken Chili for 15 - 20 minutes. 

Smoke the Chili
Place the dutch oven in the smoker. Stir every 45 minutes to an hour. Smoke as long as you like but we recommend 4 - 8 hours.

Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
