Insanely Delicious Mexican Street Corn

I tasted my first bite of street corn at my favorite taco join in south Texas, Torchy’s. (Do I daydream about Torchy’s coming to California? Why, yes, I do!) I knew immediately I must learn to make it. Here’s my version of Mexican Street Corn. It really is insanely delicious!

This side dish truly is INSANELY DELICIOUS! The flavors of grilled corn, chili power, cotija cheese and cilantro will blow you away!

I’m not sure what makes this dish so irresistible. I think it’s the combination of everything! The juicy grilled corn, chili power, cilantro and creamy cotija cheese all come together in to create an amazing flavor. 

Back when I first made my own street corn, there was one part of the recipe that prevented me from preparing the dish as often as I wanted. Street corn starts with grilled corn. And let’s face it… no one has time during a busy work week to be grilling corn. Then, I discovered a whole bag of frozen grilled corn at Trader Joe’s. Simply GENIUS! 

This side dish truly is INSANELY DELICIOUS! The flavors of grilled corn, chili power, cotija cheese and cilantro will blow you away!

If you don’t live near a Trader Joe’s, not to worry. You can either grill your corn, or you can toast it in a cast iron skilled to get the same effect. Okay, here’s how you make this!
