1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 14-ounce can hominy, rinsed (see Ingredient Note)
Preparation:
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add poblano pepper, bell pepper and corn, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

Tip:
Ingredient Note: Hominy is white or yellow corn that has been treated with lime to remove the tough hull and germ. Dried, ground hominy is the main ingredient in grits. Canned, cooked hominy can be found in the Mexican or canned-vegetable section of large supermarkets—near the beans.
