When you love something, you never let it go.
Like the first time I tried Mexican Street Corn. 4 recipes on my blog later and I’m still signing it’s praises.
The same can be said for Ricos Gourmet Nacho Cheese sauce.
I discovered Ricos when I was making these Braised Beef Nacho Burritos and we’ve never turned back.
Nachos, fries, tacos, burgers, you name it, and we’re putting Ricos on it.
That’s why it’s the perfect addition to this unique queso with the addition of Mexican street corn and my own little twist.
We are huge dip fans in this family. If there’s a get together, holiday or sporting event, I’m bringing/making a dip.
We also love cheese, so making a quick queso, is usually our go to.
Last weekend, we were having family over to watch the football game so I was trying to think of a unique dip I could make that everyone would enjoy.
then I thought of Mexican street corn and mixing the two together.
Genius.
My version of Mexican Street corn is different from a traditional street corn you might find of the streets of Mexico or my Mexican street corn salad, but it’s SO good.
It starts out the same but then I added bacon.
The combination of charred corn, jalapeno, Ricos gourmet cheese sauce, hot sauce and bacon is perfection.
This Mexican Street Corn Queso also comes together in less than 15 minutes. So if guests drop by, you can have this made in a snap!
This Mexican Street Corn Queso is cheesy, creamy and utterly scrumptious!

You’ve got to try this Mexican Street Corn Queso and have yourself a fiesta!
Cooks Tip: For the stringiest cheese, purchase blocks of cheese and grate your own. It’s creamier and cheesier than pre-shredded.
