Fresh corn filling. Cut off enough fresh corn kernels to make 3 cups (about 6 medium-size ears). In a wide frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter or margarine and add 3 medium-0size onions, finely chopped. Cook, stirring, until onion is limp but not browned Add corn, 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed, and 1/4cup water. Cover and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally . Remove cover and cook, stirring, over high heat to boil away any remaining liquid.

Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup shredded jack cheese, and 1/4 to 1 can California green chiles, chopped (seeds and pith removed). Taste as you add chiles to determine how hot you want it. Season with salt to taste.
