Mexican Street Corn Tostadas
Description
This recipe assembles a topping by mixing canned whole kernel corn with mayonnaise, finely chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, salt, and cotija cheese. The blend creates a creamy yet bright mixture reminiscent of Mexican street corn's flavors. Warm refried beans spread on tostada shells provide a soft base contrasting with the crunchy shells.
The dish is finished by piling the corn mixture atop the beans, then sprinkling additional cotija cheese and optional chili powder for smoky heat. It can be served as an appetizer or light meal with a combination of creamy, tangy, and fresh tastes and contrasting textures.
