This recipe merges the crunch of fried chicken with the sweetness of fresh corn, creating a flavorful and satisfying taco experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded fried chicken
  • 6 small corn tortillas
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3 ears of corn)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely diced (optional for heat)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Street Corn Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Fresh Corn: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil if desired. Add the fresh corn kernels and sauté for 5-7 minutes until browned. If using jalapeño, add it and sauté for an additional minute. Remove from heat.
  3. Combine Corn and Sauce: In a large bowl, mix the sautéed corn with the prepared sauce and crumbled feta. Stir until evenly combined.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: Either lightly toast the tortillas in the skillet or warm them over an open flame until pliable.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Place shredded fried chicken in the center of each tortilla, top with the street corn mixture, and add chopped cilantro.
  6. Serve with Lime Wedges: Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Feel free to customize your tacos with additional toppings like avocado or pico de gallo. Leftover filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
