Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely divine Mexican midnight snack that’ll have you doing the salsa dance in your kitchen at 2 AM! I stumbled upon this recipe during one of my late-night cravings, and honey, it’s been my go-to ever since. Let me introduce you to Loaded Mexican Street Corn Nachos – because why choose between elote and nachos when you can have both?
First things first, grab these ingredients (trust me, it’s worth the trip to the store):
– Tortilla chips (the thick ones, we’re not playing around here)
– 2 cups of grilled corn kernels
– 1 cup Mexican crema (or sour cream if you’re in a pinch)
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– Cotija cheese (as much as your heart desires)
– Chili powder
– Lime
– Fresh cilantro
– Hot sauce (optional, but live a little!)
Now, let’s get cooking, bestie!
1. First, let’s make that dreamy sauce. Mix the crema and mayo together, add a squeeze of lime, and a pinch of chili powder. Set it aside and try not to eat it all with a spoon (been there, done that! 😉).
1. Arrange your chips on a microwave-safe plate or baking sheet. We’re building layers here, like a Mexican lasagna!
1. Sprinkle that beautiful grilled corn all over those chips. If you’re feeling fancy (and I know you are), you can grill fresh corn or use frozen corn with a quick char in a pan.

1. Now comes the fun part! Drizzle that heavenly sauce all over. Don’t be shy – calories don’t count after midnight, right?
1. Shower it with cotija cheese (seriously, make it rain!), sprinkle chili powder, and fresh cilantro.
1. Final touch: a squeeze of fresh lime juice and hot sauce if you’re feeling spicy!
The best part? This whole masterpiece takes less than 10 minutes to make. It’s perfect for those nights when you’re binge-watching your favorite show and need something more exciting than plain chips.
Pro tip: Want to make it extra special? Add some quick-pickled red onions or jalapeños. Your midnight snack game will never be the same!
