Mexican Street Corn Salsa

Mexican Street Corn

Mexican street corn is a classic Mexican street food. It’s amazing!

This recipe takes all the ingredients of street corn and turns it into a flavorful dip. It’s creamy, a little spicy, and packed with delicious corn flavor.

During the summer months, it’s always better to use fresh corn. Just cut the kernels off the cob and cook them with the other ingredients.

For non-summer months, you would be fine to use frozen or canned corn. There’s plenty of flavor here to punch things up.

Mexican Street Corn Salsa

Two Special Ingredients

This salsa has two ingredients that, while unusual for street corn, add a lot of great flavor!

The first is Chef Shamy Garlic Butter. We all know it tastes incredible. The corn and onions soak up all the garlic flavor, and the butter mixed the the mayo and cheese is creamy and delicious.

The second is avocado. It adds another fresh, creamy ingredient — it make it feel almost like a corn guacamole. I love avocado, so no complaints from me!

Mexican Street Corn Salsa

Versatility

Mexican Street Corn Salsa is so versatile that you could use it for almost anything.

When we made it, a lot of it disappeared with a bag of tortilla chips. For a fun platter, use blue corn chips and you’ll have a colorful appetizer!

Next I’m going to try putting it inside a quesadilla with some extra cheese. You could also serve on tacos or use as a side salad with a nice piece of steak!

The possibilities are endless!

Enjoy!
