Mexican Street Corn Chicken Tacos
Report
These Mexican Street Corn Chicken Tacos are spicy and so flavorful from the juicy chicken strips, creamy avocado, and a zesty street corn salad, all wrapped in warm corn tortillas. I love making them for Taco Tuesday, Cinco de Mayo, or anytime I’m craving a fresh and easy Mexican-inspired meal.

Chicken:
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken breast sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning homemade or store-bought
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Mexican street corn salad:
- 2 ears corn or 1 cup canned corn
- 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
- 1 small jalapeño minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons cotija cheese crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Avocado Cream:
- 2 ripe avocados

- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Tacos:
- 10 corn or flour tortillas

Instructions
Avocado Cream:
- Add all ingredients for the avocado cream sauce to a food processor and blender and blend until creamy. Set aside.
Mexican street corn salad:
- If using fresh corn, grill it. Preheat the grill or a grill pan to high and over medium-high heat and cook the corn turning often, until charred all over, about 10 minutes.
- Add the corn to a bowl, with the rest of the salad ingredients and mix well.
Cook the chicken:
- Place a cast iron or skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Add the chicken strips and cook until browned for about. 4 minutes. Sprinkle taco seasoning on top, toss and cook a few more minutes until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.
Assemble:
- Choose taco-sized corn or flour tortilla, add chicken, top with corn salad, and add a drizzle of avocado cream, top with crumbled cotija cheese and fresh chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately.
