But, I'm a huge fan of Mexican fare. Something about South-of-the-Border flavors just go so well with vegetables and grilling. Since summertime is the obviously the best time for fresh veggies, I do a lot of cooking with familiar herbs and spices inspired by Mexico.
One of my absolute favorite vegetables to enjoy in the summer is Corn on the Cob. There is something so summery and wonderful about smothering an entire ear of corn in salt and butter and chomp-chomp-chomping your way through like a human typewriter. The texture and juicy quality of good sweet corn is like no other.
I love corn in Mexican food, as well. Corn and black bean salsa is one of my all-time favorite condiments. And, it's almost always present when I make a slow cooked meal like a stew. They are the perfect hit of sweetness for a spicy dish.
Mexican Street Corn is new to me this summer, but I'm in love with it. It has become my second-favorite corn-related food staple (number must be and will always be corn bread). The blend of creamy and garlicky and spicy is making my mouth water already.
This is definitely my new Corn on the Cob!
