These creamy street corn beef tacos are a fun twist on your traditional taco! Heavily spiced ground beef is browned and topped with a creamy, crunchy grilled corn topping that is packed with lime and cotija cheese. So delicious and easy!
You’ll be ready for taco Tuesday after these!
These beef tacos with creamy street corn are so delicious – crispy, crunchy with refreshing salsa. Lots of amazing texture, flavor and they come together super fast! The grilled corn topping is everything!
This kind of street corn topping is something I’d almost ALWAYS use with chicken or steak tacos. Or even shrimp!
But here’s the thing – my kids LOVE beef tacos. Like the classic old school ground beef tacos. Those are their absolute favorite version of any taco. And they really love a good taco bar too!
They also really enjoy corn, in fact they LOVE it. So I knew if I had any chance of getting them to enjoy this, the corn had to go on the beef tacos!
To start, these ground beef tacos are the ones I make all the time. They are so super easy and simple and I use my own spice mix too.
Flour or corn tortillas work – whichever you prefer! I love both and use them (almost) interchangeably.
Easy!!
This street corn topping is so crunchy, sweet and delicious.
It’s a mix of a street corn topping and my creamy corn salad that I serve with grilled chicken often.
It’s packed with:
Grilled corn
Green onions
Feta or cotija cheese
Cilantro
Lime
And a bit of mayo
A dash of chili lime seasoning
Mixed all together, this creates a crunchy, refreshing salad that is both savory and sweet thanks to that grilled corn. It’s incredible!! I could eat it by itself or with tortilla chips. Which is my second favorite way to enjoy it, after these tacos.
I char my tortillas in a very professional way: on the flames on my gas range. This just adds an extra step of flavor, texture and honestly – appearance! It makes them look super cute for tacos, you know?!
These are ridiculously filling and amazing! Packed with flavor and texture. I can’t get enough. (more…)
