Mexican Street Corn is the perfect way to jazz up your Nachos. Roasted corn all topped on a bed of crunchy nachos and topped with a creamy cheese sauce. Great as an appetizer or could easily serve as a quick tasty dinner (Gluten Free).
And who wouldn't wanna dive into a big plate of all this yummy cheesy goodness!
Plus it's filling enough to easily qualify as dinner....and pretty sure you could easily convince the family of that. 😉
So with today being Taco Tuesday I think this would be the perfect time to give these Mexican Street Corn Nachos a try! Not that anyone ever needs an excuse to eat Tacos or nachos. 😆
But anywho, I recently served these Nachos with a bowl of pico de gallo & a fruit tray for an easy way to entertain guests or even just make the FAM happy.
And it appeared to be a winner with my son Nicholas & his girlfriend Cristina who were visiting from out of town.
Basically so easy as well.... you can just roast the corn on the stove top till golden brown or even grill it if you're grilling out!
Either way you can't go wrong with roasted corn and creamy mayo...Yes, please 😀
The first time I made a batch of Mexican Street Corn I was hooked. And I've been brainstorming new ideas to serve it up...
So coming up with these Nachos was just a given.. 😆
And of course nacho cheese sauce to top it with.
