These Easy Mexican Street Corn Fries are super easy to make with a base of crispy fries and melted cheese, topped with roasted corn, drizzled with cilantro cream sauce, and a squeeze of lime.
I had so much fun creating and eating these Mexican Street Corn Fries!
Coming up with new and unique ways to eat fries is always fun and loading them with roasted corn and a cilantro cream sauce has to be one of the most delicious ways to top fries.
I decided to use McCain® Quick Cook Straight Cut Fries for this recipe, but you could use any of the new McCain Quick Cook French Fries for your Mexican Street Corn Fries.
You could use the crinkle cut or even the waffle cut if you prefer to scoop up the toppings and eat with your hands.
I love that they are “Faster to Prepare. Easier to Share.” Because these fries cook in half the time* and there is no flipping required!
You can find these McCain Quick Cook Fries in the freezer section (under potatoes) at your local Food City store. Click HERE to add McCain Quick Cook Fries directly to your grocery cart.
While the oven is preheating and the fries baking, I used that time to roast the defrosted corn in a cast-iron skillet and to create the cilantro cream sauce.
One of my favorite parts about the cilantro cream sauce is that you can customize it to your taste.
If you want a more zesty cream sauce, you can use a whole lime, or if you prefer the flavor of cilantro be sure to make it a well-packed 1/4 cup of cilantro. Want it to be thicker? Add more sour cream. Thinner? Add more half and half.
Super easy!
And speaking of easy, it just takes 10-13 quick minutes to make these 100% real, 100% delicious fries for a hot-from-the-oven side the whole family will eat just as fast!
We love that they are made with 100% real potatoes and that McCain fries are made with no artificial flavors. That means natural potato goodness you’ll be proud to serve to your family.
These Easy Mexican Street Corn Fries make a great appetizer, side dish, or even snack that you can enjoy all summer long, especially as fresh summer corn becomes available
