FAQ's

Do you put sour cream in Mexican street corn?

You'll use sour cream in Mexican Street corn recipe. In addition you'll use mayonnaise, seasoning and fresh lime juice.

What is a good substitute for Cotija cheese?

Parmesan cheese is the perfect salty substitute for cotija cheese.

Should this dish be served hot or cold?

Traditionally it's served hot, but it's terrific at room temperature as well.

Things to know

  • You will need thawed, frozen corn for this recipe. You can either let it thaw on the counter for a few hours, or you can place it in a bowl and run cold water over it until it's thawed.
  • I used parmesan cheese in this recipe, but you could also use cotija cheese or queso fresco. Cotija is a little bit saltier, so if you use queso fresco you may want to add a bit more salt.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled if you need to feed a crowd. Just use a 9x13 inch if you are doubling this recipe.
  • If you want to make this recipe ahead of time, you can mix everything together and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Then, just bake it when you're ready to eat.

Variations

  • Add some diced green onions or red onion for a little bit of color and flavor. That would be a great addition!
  • Add a little heat to this casserole by adding, ancho chili powder, green chilies, red pepper flakes, or even hot sauce.
  • If you don't have frozen corn on hand, you can use fresh corn removed from the cob or a can of whole-kernel corn that has been well drained.
  • Make this Mexican street corn casserole a meal by adding in some cooked ground beef.
  • Sneak some veggies into picky eaters by adding diced red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, or even some carrots to this dish.
  • Increase the flavor by adding garlic powder, onion powder, or even a small amount of enchilada sauce to this recipe.

Storage

Refrigerate - This dish will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

Freezer - I do not recommend freezing this casserole because the mayonnaise can separate when thawed and reheated.

Reheat - To reheat, place individual portions on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. You can also reheat this dish in a 350-degree oven until hot and bubbly.
