Oh honey, let me tell you about the most amazing late-night Mexican snack that’ll have your taste buds doing the salsa! As someone who’s guilty of raiding the fridge at midnight (no shame in our snacking game!), I’ve perfected these Loaded Mexican Street Corn Nachos that are absolutely to die for.
Listen up, because this isn’t your basic microwave nachos situation – we’re going full-on flavor fiesta here!
What you’ll need (trust me on these ingredients):
– Tortilla chips (the thick ones, we’re not playing around)
– 2 ears of corn, charred
– 1/2 cup Mexican crema (or sour cream if you’re in a pinch)
– 1/4 cup mayo
– Tajín seasoning (my secret weapon!)
– Cotija cheese, crumbled
– 1 lime
– Fresh cilantro
– Hot sauce (I like it spicy, but you do you!)
Y’all, the magic happens in these steps:
1. First, char those corn ears on your stovetop or grill until they’re got those gorgeous dark spots (that’s where the flavor lives!).
2. While that’s happening, mix your crema and mayo with a squeeze of lime and a generous shake of Tajín. _chef’s kiss_
3. Cut the corn off the cob (carefully – we want late-night snacks, not late-night ER visits! 😉)
4. Layer your chips on a platter (make it rain, honey!)
5. Drizzle that heavenly sauce all over
6. Sprinkle your charred corn and cotija cheese
7. Finish with fresh cilantro and an extra dash of Tajín

Pro tip: If you’re feeling extra, add some quick-pickled red onions or jalapeños. It’ll take these nachos from “wow” to “HOLY GUACAMOLE!”
