5 from 1 vote

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag Tortilla Chips 9-10 oz
  • 16 oz Frozen Fire Roasted Corn Kernels
  • 12 oz Shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese It will melt better if you shred it yourself
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cotija Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream + 1-2 tsp water or you can buy Mexican Crema which is naturally thinner
  • 1/4 cup chopped Cilantro
  • 1 tsp Tajin This is a spice found in all grocery stores. If you are unfamiliar with it, add 1/2 tsp first, taste the corn, and then decide if you want to add the other 1/2

Instructions
 

  • Lay out your chips on a baking dish. Add 3/4 of the shredded cheese to the chips and put them in oven at 350°F until the cheese is melty, but not brown.
  • As cheese is melting in the oven, add frozen corn kernels to a pan to heat through.
  • Once the corn is heated, add to a bowl with a 1/4 cup of Mayo and 1 tsp of tajín.
  • Remove nachos from the oven, put the corn kernels on top.
  • Add remaining monterrey jack cheese on top of the corn and then add it back to the oven until the cheese melts. Remove from oven and then add the shredded cotija cheese.
  • In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of sour cream with 1 - 2 tsp of water to make it thinner. This will help you drizzle the sour cream on the nachos. Traditionally, Mexican Cream is used and the consistency is thinner than sour cream. Mix the sour cream until it is completely smooth. Drizzle on top of nachos
  • Top with cilantro!
