Introduce yourself as Lucas and explain that you will teach how to make a simple humita.

Use 1 can of corn, measuring it into a cup.

Chop 1 cup of onion and 1/4 cup of bell pepper.

Heat a skillet with a good amount of oil to prepare a sofrito.

Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet.

Cook until the onion becomes translucent, which indicates it's ready.

Add a pinch of salt to the onion and bell pepper mixture to help release moisture.

Add the corn directly from the can to the skillet with the onion and bell pepper.

Mix the corn with the sautéed vegetables and heat them together.

Optionally, you can blend the mixture slightly to break down the corn for more flavor.

Add 1 cup of white sauce to the corn mixture and combine everything well.

Serve the mixture in an oven-safe dish or use it as a filling for empanadas.

If desired, you can bake it to gratin, but in this case, it is served directly.
