Mexican Street Corn Mac & Cheese

#ad If you love Mexican street corn as much as I do, you need to try this easy twist on Main St Bistro® Signature Macaroni & Cheese main_st_bistro. Their mac and cheese is already super rich and cheesy with cheddar, Parmesan, and Romano, so I just added some sautéed jalapeños, corn, extra melty cheese, cotija, Tajín, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime to give it that street corn vibe. It comes together in minutes and is perfect for a quick dinner or any summer BBQ.

You can find Main St Bistro® Signature Macaroni & Cheese in the refrigerated section near the meat department at your grocery store or hit the link in my bio to find them near you.
