A flavorful classic Mexican side dish, also known as Elote, laced with chili powder and Queso Fresco!

Best Mexican Street Corn

My son has been learning to speak Spanish ever since a Spanish speaking friend of ours gave him words to practice with her son. He is determined to learn the language so he continues to practice using Duolingo. He’s getting pretty good at it!

He asked us to stop ordering ‘Queso cheese’ when we go to our favorite Mexican restaurant because Queso IS cheese, so it’s like ordering ‘cheese cheese.’ HA! Noted.

Mexican Street Corn is one of my husband’s favorite Mexican recipes, he absolutely loves this stuff! It goes perfectly as a side dish with any Mexican food, such as Vegetarian Mexican Lasagna, Vegetarian Sheet Pan Quesadilla’s, Taco Salad Bowl’s, or Vegetarian Enchilada’s!
