Description

Street Corn Nachos combine crunchy tortilla chips with tender grilled or boiled corn, melted cheese, and a zesty sour cream lime sauce, topped with crumbled cotija cheese and fresh cilantro. This vibrant and flavorful dish makes a perfect snack or appetizer with just seven simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 bag tortilla chips
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (or canned corn)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or queso blanco)
  • ½ cup cotija cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the nachos.
  2. Prepare Corn: Grill or boil the fresh corn kernels until tender. If using canned corn, simply drain and rinse it well.
  3. Mix Sour Cream Sauce: In a bowl, combine the sour cream, lime juice, half of the cotija cheese, and half of the chopped cilantro. Mix well and set aside for topping later.
  4. Arrange Chips: Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet, creating a single layer.
  5. Add Corn: Distribute the cooked or rinsed corn evenly over the tortilla chips.
  6. Sprinkle Cheese: Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar or queso blanco cheese over the corn and chips to ensure coverage for melting.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Add Toppings: Remove from the oven and drizzle the sour cream mixture evenly over the nachos.
  9. Garnish: Sprinkle the remaining crumbled cotija cheese and fresh cilantro over the top to finish.
  10. Serve: Serve the nachos immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute canned corn if fresh corn is not available.
  • For a spicier version, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of chili powder before baking.
  • Use queso blanco for a traditional Mexican flavor or cheddar for sharper taste.
  • To make this dish vegetarian, ensure cheese and sour cream are from vegetarian-friendly sources.
  • The nachos are best served immediately to maintain crispiness.
