Oh honey, let me tell you about this absolutely divine Mexican midnight snack that’ll have you doing the salsa dance in your PJs! As someone who’s notorious for late-night cravings (don’t judge!), I’ve perfected these Loaded Mexican Street Corn Nachos that are literally to die for.
Listen up, because this isn’t your basic microwave nachos situation – we’re getting fancy but keeping it simple enough that you won’t destroy your kitchen at midnight (because who needs that drama?).
Here’s what you’ll need (trust me on these ingredients):
– 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 (lots of it, ladies!)
– Chili powder
– 1 lime
– Fresh cilantro
– Hot sauce (because duh!)
Now, let me walk you through this mouthwatering creation:
1. First, spread those chips on a baking sheet like you’re laying out your perfect outfit – with intention and style!
2. Mix the crema and mayo together with a squeeze of lime juice (this is where the magic happens)
3. Sprinkle that gorgeous grilled corn all over those chips
4. Drizzle your creamy mixture like you’re Jackson Pollock creating a masterpiece
5. Now rain down that Cotija cheese like there’s no tomorrow
6. Dust with chili powder (be generous, we’re not counting calories at midnight!)
7. Finish with fresh cilantro and an extra lime squeeze

The best part? You can customize this baby however you like – add some jalapeños if you’re feeling spicy, throw on some black beans if you’re trying to be _somewhat_ healthy (at midnight? Really?).
Pro tip: Want to make this even more indulgent? Add some shredded chicken or crumbled chorizo. I won’t tell anyone if you don’t! 😉
Seriously though, these nachos are like a warm hug from your abuela, but with a little extra sass. They’re perfect for those nights when you’re binge-watching your favorite show or just need some comfort food after a long day.
