This Mexican Style Street Corn is simple & quick to throw together, and perfect for any party, Summer bbq or just as a delicious side to any weeknight dinner. Corn, queso fresco, and cilantro are a force to be reckoned with and this dish features all three. This is a great addition to a Summer bbq because, let’s be honest, sometimes you need to add a bit of flair to the typical hot dogs and hamburger type bbq. With the weather warming up, make sure to save this recipe for that first bbq of the season.
Nothing says Summer like corn! If you have it, we’d suggest using fresh corn off the cob. That will add another layer of flavor because you can’t beat fresh.
We are big chips and salsa people, see our Fresh Garden Salsa Recipe. It was really fun to shake that up and add another chip dip to our repertoire.
