Mexican Corn Casserole

Not every #tacotuesday or burrito night needs rice and beans on the side. Don’t get me wrong – I love me some rice and beans. But sometimes you need variety, especially if you love making Mexican food at home as much as we do. Mexican Corn Casserole is a perfect stand in. You get the same great flavors without the the same old same old.

The cheesy goodness is what makes this side dish such a win. The combination of cream cheese and cojita marries so well. This is such an easy side dish that packs so much flavor punch. It is really good for a main dish that requires a lot of attention. It is also a great additional dish if you are trying to stretch a meal for a crowd. Honestly, it would also be a great potluck meal, as it does great as a held dish.

I served this up with my Crispy Cheesy Chicken Tacos. An attention requiring main dish, this is the perfect side dish to make. It is a great way to add vegetables and protein to your meal. It is also so simple to throw together and put in the oven, so that you can do other things.
