Mexican Street Corn

Dairy-Free Mexican-Inspired Street Corn

Whether you are dairy-free, a full veg-head, or simply want to live a more plant-forward lifestyle, don't miss this IBS-friendly dish. Traditional Mexican street corn gets its unique creaminess from a combination of cotija cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise.

If you're dairy-free, this healthy yet gut-friendly version uses plant-based yogurt and nutritional yeast to mimic the drool-worthy taste of this classic comfort food. Simply shuck, dunk, and chuck it on the barbecue or grill pan for an instant crowd favorite. While fresh corn may be a seasonal ingredient, this a-maize-ing recipe can also get modified with rinsed, canned corn for a side salad worth salivating over. Don’t wait; this recipe will make your tastebuds husk a move!
