Picture this: crispy tortilla chips smothered in melted cheese, topped with charred corn kernels tossed in creamy Mexican crema, zesty lime juice, chili powder, and crumbled cotija cheese. My mouth is literally watering as I type this!
What you’ll need (because we’re fancy like that):
– 1 bag of tortilla chips (the sturdy kind, we’re not playing around here)
– 2 cups Mexican blend cheese
– 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
– 1/4 cup Mexican crema
– 1/2 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
– 1 tbsp chili powder

Now, let’s get cooking (hair tied up, because we mean business):
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spread those chips on a baking sheet like you’re spreading gossip (kidding! mostly 😉).
1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, char those corn kernels until they’re golden brown and looking fine. Add a pinch of salt and let them cool their jets.
1. Mix the charred corn with Mexican crema, half the cotija cheese, and chili powder. Squeeze in half a lime because citrus makes everything better!
1. Layer your chips with the Mexican blend cheese and pop it in the oven until melty and gorgeous (about 5-7 minutes).
1. Top with your corn mixture, sprinkle the remaining cotija cheese, cilantro, and an extra dash of chili powder. Finish with a squeeze of lime and hot sauce if you’re feeling spicy!
Y’all, this is the kind of snack that makes you text your BFF at midnight with “YOU NEED TO TRY THIS!” And honestly? I wouldn’t blame you one bit!
