    Mexican Street Corn Rice and Beans

    Jun 21, 2021

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This is such a delicious fusion of Mexican street style corn mashed together with a classic rice and beans! This is the upgraded side dish you need this summer! So full of flavor with jalapeños, scallions, garlic, lime, cilantro and grilled sweet corn! Will you really be able to eat just a simple rice and beans after this??

    pouring dressing over mexican rice and beans with corn

    Is anyone else obsessed with Mexican street corn during summer or is it just me? OK but when you see a plain corn on the cob and then you see one dressed up with all that flavor, is there really even a debate? I just really love how all of the ingredients are bursting with flavor and yet the corn is still the star of the dish even with everything else that is going on in there.

    What ingredients are in Mexican Street Corn Rice & Beans?

    • Rice
    • Beans
    • Corn
    • The Dressing

    But what's in the Mexican street corn dressing?

    Its a creamy delicious explosion of the flavor! Spicy, tangy, savory and smokey! No crazy ingredients but everything just works together.

    • Mayo
    • Parmesan cheese
    • Lime
    • Scallions
    • Garlic
    • Jalapeños
    • Smoked Paprika
    • Cumin
    • Cilantro

    So easy to make!

    Mixing creamy dressing with rice and beans and grilled corn

    I like to prep most of the ingredients while everything is cooking!

    1. So first off get your rice and corn cooking! If you're having a barbecue, get someone to grill that corn!
    2. While that's happening, get the dressing all mixed up. Luckily, it's a pretty straightforward dump of all the ingredients into a mixing bowl. Since the dressing is also full of veggies, it will be pretty chunky! You can chop everything even finer, but I really like all the textures in this dish.
    3. Once the corn is ready, cut it off the cob.
    4. Grab a big mixing bowl and combine the rice, beans, corn and dressing! (Try not to devour the whole bowl before serving!)
