Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Frozen sweet yellow corn: I've used frozen corn to make this a recipe that you can enjoy for Taco Tuesday throughout the year. By all means, use fresh corn kernels when you can get them! If you want to use canned corn, make sure to drain it well.
- Sour cream: Plain Greek yogurt works as a substitute for a similar tang.
- Honey: Maple syrup or agave nectar can be used if you prefer.
- Jalapeno: For less heat, you can use green or red pepper, or for more heat, try a serrano pepper. Minced garlic is also a nice addition.
- Cotija cheese: You can usually find it with the other cheeses, but sometimes there is a section with Mexican cheeses. Parmesan or Feta cheese can be a substitute for a similar texture and salty taste.
Step by Step
For the full recipe with measurements, see the recipe card at the end of the post.
Remove corn from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. For a quicker option, microwave the corn for 1 minute.
Tips and Tricks
- Customize your heat: The beauty of this recipe is how easy it is to adjust the spice level. Play around with different types of peppers until you find your perfect match.
- Stir frequently for even cooking: Keep the corn moving on the griddle so each kernel cooks evenly and doesn't stick.
- Get creative with toppings: Don't feel limited to just Cotija cheese. Try adding chopped cilantro, diced avocado, or a sprinkle of Tajín for extra layers of flavor.
