I learned how to make Mexican Street Corn from a friend’s dad. He taught me many recipes and I revamped this one into an egg salad.
I’ve been working with the North Carolina Egg Association on a few recipe videos. This particular recipe is perfect for spring gatherings and pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips for dippin’.
Other egg-tastic recipes you’ll want to check out include my Grated Egg Biscuits for breakfast, these Miso-Spiked Egg Salad Sandwiches for lunch, or my Eggs in Purgatory Skillet for a fun spin on dinner.
INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED:
I love egg salad. I honestly can eat it any time of day. It’s great on toast, with chips, crackers, or served traditionally on sandwiches. As a born-and-raised California gal, we always noshed on Mexican food. So this creative spin on a classic is right up my alley.
- Hard-Boiled Eggs
- Greek Yogurt
- Mayonnaise
- Lime Juice
- Tex-Mex Seasoning
- Salt
- Pepper
- Corn Kernels
- Jalapeño Pepper
- Red Pepper
- Green Onions
- Cilantro
- Queso Blanco
- Tortilla Chips, for serving
Eggs are an excellent source of protein and are super versatile. We eat them at home quite often, and I honestly have so much fun making up different dishes for us to try. I started my blog with this Sweet Potato Jalapeno Hash with Eggs… please don’t judge my baby blogging / photography skills 😉 – but my very first blog post proves my fondness of this particular ingredient.
I actually started my website as a way to share recipes I’d make for my friends and family back in California. We bought a house North Carolina in 2014 and I’d get texts asking about particular dishes I had previously brought to gatherings. I was a full-time corporate accountant at the time, never even imagining that cooking / blogging would become my passion and career. I don’t mean to be mushy, but thanks for being here. 🙂

NOTES ON THIS RECIPE:
- Sometimes I’ll cook my eggs just until they’re slightly “jammy”. You can do this by placing the eggs in boiling water with salt, turning off the heat, and covering for 6 minutes. I find that the softer yolk adds to the dressing.
- Light or regular mayonnaise work in this recipe. I personally prefer Duke’s, but use whichever you enjoy most.
- I thaw frozen corn kernels in a small bowl with water. It takes about ten minutes. Drain, and they’re ready to use.
