Creating Street Corn Nachos is a simple process that can be accomplished in just a few easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Mix the Corn Topping: In a bowl, combine the grilled corn, cotija cheese, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
3. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Spread the tortilla chips in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
4. Add Cheese: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the chips.
5. Add Corn Mixture: Spoon the corn mixture generously over the chips.
6. Top with Remaining Cheese: Spread the remaining shredded cheese over the corn and chips.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Prepare the Drizzle: While nachos are baking, mix the sour cream (or crema) with chili powder for extra flavor. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
9. Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, drizzle the sour cream mixture over the nachos, top with fresh cilantro, and add jalapeño slices or avocado if desired.
10. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the cheesy, zesty goodness!
