How to Make Mexican Street Corn Casserole 

As with any recipe, you need to start out with your ingredients. Head to the store or place an online order for the following ingredients.

• large bag of frozen corn
• 1 large red pepper
• Tajin seasoning
• CIlantro
• Mayo
• Cotija Cheese
• Sour Cream

Once you have your ingredients, you are ready to make your dish!

As I said, this is super simple. Start out by preheating your oven to 425°. 

While it is preheating, combine all of your ingredients in a large mixing bowl. 

You can use the corn while it is still frozen ( i did), and then add in a diced red onion, 1/4 cup of sour cream, 1/4 cup of mayo, a generous amount of Tajin, and cilantro, and a handful of cotija cheese.

As you see, my measurements are super precise, I know. I really believe when cooking, you just need a baseline and then you just add according to how you are feeling at the moment. Cooking is something personal and everyone liked different levels of seasoning and spices. 

As for me, I like a lot of spice and seasoning!  Also, always remember to start small. “You can always add more but you can’t ever take any out”.

Then all you need to do is add your mix into a large baking dish. Pop it in the oven for 45 minutes and you are good to go!

Let it cool and enjoy!
