The easiest way to eat healthy and hit your protein goals is by making marinated salads as part of your meal prep every week. And this week, we’re making a smoky, citrusy, creamy Mexican street cornst. Just combine one can of white beans, one bag of frozen corn, optionally charred in your broiler or with a torch just to bring on that extra level of flavor and the other veggies listed below along with a ton of fresh cilantro. Our dressing is a pretty standard take on a creamy, citrusy elote style, but I like to add in some smoked paprika for an extra layer of flavor. And you can totally swap Greek yogurt for the mayo if you want to get even more protein out of this. Just stir it all together. Fold in some kit cheese. So, you can swap out the mayo for Greek yogurt, but I find if you do that, it just kind of tastes a little sad. So, even adding just some light mayo with that you get on clearance, of course, can really bring it all together. So, it calls for a tablespoon of smoked paprika. And you can really taste it. It’s very smoky, bold flavors, crunchy, and the corn. Ah, corn is underrated. Love corn. Tastes really good, super easy to put together, and you can meal prep it. 9 out of 10. K bye.

One thing I also recommend is to put your dry powder spices into a dry pan on a low medium heat stirring constantly, just until fragrant. A little heat helps a lot to open up the flavors
What about the cheese that you cut off
"or with a torch just to bring on that extra level of [exhaust] flavor"
You'd need that much smoked paprika to disguise that a torch was involved…
My favorite salad as a kid used to be a can of corn with french dressing, and i stand by that
Är ni på någon diet eller?
Majs är både kolhydrater och omega6. Är det för att det är gott eller har du ett mål? Är du vegetarian? Är det därför protein är viktigt?
Swap the mayo with Taziki
Whoa, an actual number/10? Are you sick? Should we be worried?
PLEASEEEE TRY A SPANISH OMELETTE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I’LL SUB IF U DO
I don't understand how anybody could eat corn that had been charred with a propane torch. Propane is not a good seasoning for food.
Macros ?
NEVER EAT CORN. THERE IS A REASON WHY IT COMES OUT WHOLE IN YOUR FECES.
Where's the cottage cheese?😂
This kinda thing is perfect to eat with any meat of your choice. I prefer steak, but really any meat works. It’s so satisfying
Corn is literally the best thing ever
Add the bush’s sidekick!!!!
I love Korn too.
If you dont like certain mayos because they're sweet blueplate and dukes are way less sweet. Good for sauces and stuff too. Little mayo, spicy chili crisp, and honey(i don't use clover dominant or bear honey cause of flavor. Makes a great sweet, spicy, creamy sauce for almost everything.
I just tried this and it's so yummy. Had no white beans and used kidney beans but it's really nice, the smoked paprika is really good!
Corn….? RATA URRRATA
Use, at most, 1/1000th teaspoon of smoked paprika. A little goes a looooooong way!
For even an alternative to mayo and yogurt, you can do silken tofu for the plant based peeps!
I've got the soap taste with cilantro. Makes me sad whenever I see it as a key ingredient. What's a good sub (if any)? Parsley?
"COJITA" CHEESE 😂
I’d rather ☠️ than eat light mayo omg
Yo where does it come from: mayonnaise with lime/ citrus juice as the sauce base. Thats disgusting
I LOVE Mexican street corn. A Mexican friend introduced me to it. Omgosh I’ve been missing out my whole life.
I tried putting some sweet corn I had in the fridge in my chicken salad today. Wasn't a fan there wasn't enough to balance out the sweet, but I've been having fun experimenting ❤
How on earth does mayo add protein, it's emulsified oil. There is way more protein in the yogurt.
Can we have more vegan and gf recipes?
Yeah I prep similar dishes and use greek yogurt or quark but still mix 50/50 with mayo so it tastes almost as good while going up in protein.
You don't wanna know how often I eat a can of corn for lunch 😂
