Grilled corn on the cob, slathered in a mayo sour cream sauce, sprinkled with cotija and chili powder Yes, please Well, how about all of the brilliant deliciousness of street corn, in the form of street corn nachos Ever since I had some elote at a friends house the other day, Ive been dreaming about capturing the flavors as a topping for cheesy nachos. And friends, I think we may have something good here. The components of nachos are tortilla chips, melted cheese of some sort, and toppings. The problem with a lot of nacho recipes is that if you bake the chips with the toppings, the chips quickly get soggy. Showcase this Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad recipe as the star side dish at all of your summer gatherings this year. Bursting with flavor and textures. To counteract that, I decided to toast the chips separately, and then just pour over a cheese sauce and top with the toppings right before serving. That way the chips stay crunchy, and dont droop when you try to pick them up. The cheese sauce needed to be creamy and mild. Creamy to easily pour, and mild so it wouldnt interfere with the street corn flavors. So, Ive made a cheese sauce with Monterey jack, cream, milk, and some cornstarch to prevent clumping. This gets cooked in a double boiler on the stovetop so the sauce doesnt burn or separate. As for the corn You can of course grill some corn on the cob, and then remove the kernels. I didnt want to fire up the grill to make nachos though, so Im using frozen corn kernels that I sear, while still frozen a tip from Americas test kitchen, in a cast iron pan on high heat. That way we get some sear. I use chipotle chile powder for the heat and smoky flavor. This isnt the sort of thing you can make in advance. That said, if you are having people over for a game day party This would be perfect.
