A delightfully, nutty side dish using corn on the cob and some staples from the fridge and pantry! 

I whipped together this yummy corn side dish on the fly, to go with the Oven Tacos that I prepared on Big Bad Budget Battle show on Food Network. 

The challenge was to cook something from my hometown and I immediately flash-backed to the “taco truck tour” that I went on for my birthday a few years ago. Along with the tacos, I wanted a skillet style elote corn…except I didn’t have the exact ingredients for that…so I improvised.

The end result…delicious!!!
