Description

This Mexican Street Corn Flatbread Pizza combines the smoky flavors of roasted corn and spicy chili with creamy toppings and melted cheese on crispy flatbread, creating a perfect quick and flavorful appetizer or main dish inspired by classic street corn.


Ingredients

For the Flatbread and Toppings

– 2 flatbreads (store bought naan or homemade flatbread)
– 1/3 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
– 1/3 cup crumbled cotija or queso fresco
– 1 (15 oz.) can corn, drained
– 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
– Kosher salt

Sauce and Seasoning

– 1/3 cup sour cream
– 1/4 cup mayonnaise
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– Zest of 1 lime
– Juice of 1 lime (about 1 tablespoon)
– Pinch cayenne pepper
– Fresh chopped cilantro (for garnish)
– Lime wedges (for serving)

Additional Toppings and Garnishes

– Crumbled cotija cheese
– Fresh chopped cilantro for garnish
– Lime wedges for serving


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a baking sheet inside to heat up.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime zest, lime juice, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and a couple of large pinches of kosher salt. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  3. Assemble Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on the hot baking sheet. Spread the majority of the sauce evenly over each flatbread, reserving 2-3 tablespoons for drizzling after baking.
  4. Add Cheese and Corn: On top of the sauce, evenly distribute shredded pepper jack cheese, followed by the drained corn, and then sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese.
  5. Season and Bake: Sprinkle chili powder and additional salt over the toppings. Bake in the oven for 14-16 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Broil for Finish: Switch to broil mode and broil for 1-2 minutes to slightly char the toppings, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, drizzle with the remaining sauce, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges for added zest.

Notes

  • Use store-bought naan or homemade flatbread based on preference; both work well for this recipe.
  • Adjust chili powder based on your spice preference.
  • For extra flavor, lightly char the flatbreads on the stovetop grill pan before baking.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
  • You can prepare the sauce ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
