Ingredients:

- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste

2. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
3. In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the hatch chiles, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Sauté for another 2 minutes.
5. Add the cooked corn kernels and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheese has melted and is evenly distributed.
6. Top with the crispy bacon and chopped cilantro. Serve warm.
