These are simple to make and are perfect for a spur-of-the moment lunch or dinner. I usually keep a couple of pounds of the taco meat frozen, and ready for use. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make mexican essentials: corn to be wild street tacos

  • 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • 2
    The spice recipe is one that I like use with street tacos. If you have your own favorite, use it in place of this one. In addition, the proportions make enough spice for three of these recipes. Just take the additional spice, and store in a glass container (old spice jar) for the next time.
  • 3
    The cheese I am using for this recipe is Cotija, also known as Mexican Parmesan.
  • 4
    Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 5
    Add the ground beef to a skillet over medium heat, sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of the seasoning mix, and cook until beginning to brown, about 8 – 10 minutes.
  • 6
    Add the stock or water, and the corn, and stir until most of the liquid has evaporated, and the mixture is heated through, about 5 – 7 minutes.

    PLATE/PRESENT
