  5. Heat the skillet really well. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, and pour in the hot skillet the batter (Be careful!)
  6. Sprinkle on top of the batter chopped jalapeño pepper, red chili pepper (red hot chili pepper is optional, but it gives an amazing color), and the remaining fire roasted corn. Then, lightly mix the top.
