Spicy, creamy, cheesy street corn and classic crunchy beef tacos join forces in this simple dinner that comes together in just one skillet. Take advantage of fresh sweet corn when available, or use equally tasty frozen when corn is out of season. Old El Paso™ Spicy Queso Blanco Sauce stands in for the mayo used in the traditional version for a convenient, squeezable way to amp up the flavor of these fun tacos.
In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add corn, salt, cumin, and red pepper; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until corn begins to brown on edges and is steaming hot. Transfer to medium bowl; cover to keep warm.
Place same skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain. Add taco seasoning mix and water; reduce heat, and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.
Divide beef among heated taco shells; top with corn. Drizzle with spicy queso blanco sauce. Top evenly with cheese and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
Top with sliced green onions for extra flavor, and drizzle with your favorite hot sauce for extra heat.
Rinsed and drained canned corn can be used in place of the fresh or frozen corn.
