Hey y’all! It’s Leigh Ann here from My Diary of Us and I am super excited to be sharing with you a fun new way to use up all of that summer corn that is so delicious right now. If you are like me, you have been buying up all of the fresh corn at your local farmer’s market or grocery store and while it’s definitely tasty just as is with a little butter, I like mixing it up sometimes to keep my family interested in eating it every single week. Street corn is a super fun way to make corn on the cob extra exciting and I have three flavor options for you that you are going to love serving up all summer long. These recipes for street corn, three ways are going to take your corn to a whole new level and you will quickly fall in love with all of them!
You might already be familiar with Mexican street corn, or Elote, but I have two other really delicious options to share with you today as well. All three recipes are so easy and so full of flavor! First, obviously we had to make a traditional Elote Mexican street corn, but I am also going to be sharing a Korean gochujang street corn, as well as a Texas BBQ street corn!
YUMMATOLA! (As Kelly would say!)
I am here to tell you that these street corn recipes are all so delicious that the first time I made them, I ate all three varieties in one sitting because I couldn’t decide which one I loved the most! They really are just so unique in flavor and such a fun way to enjoy one of my favorite summer vegetables. I think you will also enjoy making these right in your own kitchen.
For another fun idea, I think it would be great to set this whole situation up as a DIY street corn bar, where your family and friends can make their own street corn with their favorite toppings. It would be so great for a backyard BBQ or to get your kids involved in making dinner! Of course, you can also go the route of just picking your favorite flavor combination and only making the one recipe also. There are so many possibilities with flavors here, but the important thing to remember is they are equally as delicious, so you can’t make a wrong decision!
I hope you enjoy this delicious new way to enjoy sweet summer corn on the cob as much my family and I do!
