Pick a few ears of corn and peel them.

Remove the kernels from the corn using a knife and place them in a bowl.

Blend the corn kernels in a blender until smooth, adding a little water as needed.

Open the banana leaves that were previously removed from the corn and wash them.

Apply a small amount of salt to the banana leaves, depending on the size of the bollo you want to make.

Spoon the corn mixture onto the center of each banana leaf and wrap them up to form packets.

Place some banana leaves at the bottom of a pot to prevent the packets from sticking.

Bring water to a boil in the pot and place the wrapped packets inside.

Cover and cook the packets for approximately 40 minutes.
