What to Eat with Mexican Street Corn (24 Easy Dishes)

If you’re trying to figure out what to eat with Mexican street corn, there are a few things you need to consider.
To start, think about the flavors and textures of Mexican street corn. It’s sweet and warm, creamy, crunchy, and salty. So when you pair it with your main dish, think about how those flavors play with other foods.
You want something that will complement the dish without overpowering it. If the meal is too sweet or salty, it won’t taste as good. For example, if you have a spicy dish like Mexican street corn and then add more spice on top of that, it can be overwhelming.
But if you have something cool like cilantro lime rice or coleslaw on the side, then it really helps balance everything out nicely so that each bite has its own distinct flavor profile (and not just one big blob of heat).
