Why We Love This Street Corn Salsa Recipe
I’m a big fan of Mexican Street Corn. There’s something about it that I just can’t get enough of! This street corn salsa recipe really has my heart, guys. There is just so much flavor in this easy salsa dip with so little effort. My kind of recipe indeed!
- Easy. This dip is just a bunch of amazing ingredients mixed together, with a little bit of cooking (or heating up, really) involved. It’s ready in no time for last-minute snacking.
- Fresh. Corn, onions, jalapeños, and pico de gallo are crunchy, chunky, and fresh!
- Delicious. The combination of fresh veggies and creamy cheese is so balanced and flavorful.
Variations on Elote Salsa
It’s easy to adjust this recipe to your personal tastes. It’s medium-spicy as is, but you can decrease the spice level by omitting the jalapeños or green chilies. If you prefer a soupier texture, you can use a cup of your favorite salsa in place of the pico. If you can find it, swap the feta for cotija or queso fresco for a more authentic flavor.

Yum! Good indeed!. I added a little bit of Red Cayenne Pepper to the end, but not because more flavor was needed – sometimes I just crave a little kick.
