Fresh Mexicorn Recipe (2024)

I have a hard time finding side dishes my family will enjoy. But this Fresh Mexicorn Recipe goes with just about everything. It is so easy to make, is fairly inexpensive, and comes together in a matter of minutes. You are going to love this recipe.

One thing that I really struggle with are side dishes, especially healthy side dishes.

Sometimes I am as picky as my kids when it comes to eating more healthy.

So, I am really going to make an effort this month to pack more vegetables in my family’s diet.

I have taken on the challenge of filling half of their dinner plates with fruits and vegetables (which is a real stretch for me).

Here is my one of our family’s favorite veggie-loaded recipes. I loved all the vegetables mixed together and my kids picked out the things they didn’t like (peppers and onions).

It was such a bright and colorful side dish that was so easy to throw together.

If you are looking for a simple and delicious side dish recipe, I highly recommend our Fresh Mexicorn Recipe.

works great as a taco meat replacement:

My family loves tacos, however, as a mother, I am starting to feel a little guilty feeding them so many tacos.

This Mexicorn recipe is also a great taco filing, if you are looking for a meat alternative. It works perfectly as a vegetarian substitute.

They still taste amazing, and once you top them off with all the goods, you won’t even be able to tell they are meatless.

If you added some black beans it would be a healthy protein replacement. Yummy in tacos or on taco salad :)
Dev says:

Use yellow bell peppers and the kids can't pick them out. Also, I saute with the lid off until the corn just starts to turn brown and caramalize.... Add fresh cilantro at the end..... even yummier.
