Making Mexican Street Corn At Home Is Shockingly Easy
Mexican Street Corn in a Bowl! Today, we are making an absolute favorite that we’ve surprisingly never made at home before: Mexican Street Corn in a bowl! This easy, flavorful recipe is perfect when you want all the incredible flavors of traditional elote but without the messy cob. We used fresh corn and fried it up in a pan and then tossed it in a creamy, tangy sauce with fresh lime juice, chili powder, and plenty of cheese. Jamie gave it a massive thumbs up, and we are already planning to make this a staple for our next game night! If you can cook it, so can you!
Of course, a recipe video wouldn't be complete without the Snow Dogs Cooking kitchen crew! The kitchen helpers were out in full force today. Eleanor was holding down her spot as the second-best kitchen helper, even if she still hasn't quite figured out how to lay down in the kitchen space and decided to make a quick exit. Meanwhile, Kira was staying out of the kitchen as always. And you know we couldn't skip the most important part of cooking: paying the Cheese Tax! Both girls got their official cheese tax paid right on the floor so it didn't get on the carpet. Memphis was resting up, but the girls definitely made sure no cheese went to waste!
Ingredients
3 cups of corn (fresh, canned, or thawed frozen)
1-2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
2 tablespoons of Mexican style sour cream (or regular sour cream)
1.5 teaspoons of chili powder
1/4 teaspoon of paprika
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of fresh squeezed lime juice
1/4 - 1/2 cup of Cotija cheese (or Mexican style crumbling cheese)
Fresh chopped cilantro to taste
Tips and Tricks
🌽 If you want to take this recipe outdoors, you can easily whip up this entire dish on a Blackstone griddle while grilling burgers.
🌶️ Our recipe keeps the heat levels mild so everyone can enjoy it, but you can easily kick up the spice by adding diced jalapeños, cayenne pepper, or a dash of hot sauce.
🧀 If you can't find traditional Mexican style sour cream or the crumbly cheese at your local store, regular sour cream and feta cheese make a great substitute.
🍋 Always keep an extra lime and extra cilantro on hand to sprinkle fresh on top right before serving to make the flavors pop.
🥣 This recipe is incredibly versatile and can easily be adapted into a Mexican street corn dip to serve with tortilla chips for your next party.
Highlights
🐶 Eleanor tries her best to help but decides she's "out" when she can't find a comfy spot to lay down.
🐕 Kira watches like a total "peoples" waiting for her cue.
🧀 The ultimate moment: stopping everything to pay the mandatory Cheese Tax to the pups.
🍿 Jamie walks in and realizes the kitchen smells exactly like a movie theater.
