Street Corn Pasta Salad Recipe

Recipe By 12 Tomatoes

Even if youve never been to mexico, hopefully youve heard of or tried mexican street corn. Bought fresh and hot from street carts, this dish is traditionally corn on the cob thats been charred to perfection, coated in mexican crema and then topped off with cotija cheese crumbles and cilantro. While we love any iteration of this, turning mexican street corn into a more filling side dish (or main course, if thats what youre feeling) is super easy when you introduce pasta in the mix. Heres our take on mexican street corn pasta salad.
