Make the Mexican Street Corn salsa by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Season to taste with additional chili powder, salt, lime, cheese, and jalapeno as desired. Set aside.
1 ½ cups corn kernels, ½ cup cotija cheese, 1 jalapeno peppers, ½ teaspoon chili powder, 2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro, 1 lime, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Prepare your enchilada sauce if not done already.
1 ½ cups Creamy Roasted Poblano and Lime Enchilada Sauce
Preheat oven to 350℉.
Place a little of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of your 9x13 inch baking dish. Add 1/4 cup of water, stir, and spread across the bottom of the dish. This will help keep the enchiladas from sticking.
Heat four corn tortillas 5 at a time in the microwave for 15 seconds until just warm (this makes them easier to roll).
12 corn tortillas
Lay approximately 1/4 cup of shredded cheese across the tortilla and top with 2 Tablespoons of the corn mixture. Use more or less of each as you wish. Roll up the tortilla into an enchilada and place in the dish.
4 cups Monterey Jack cheese
Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas. Spoon some of the sauce over the enchiladas as you go to help prevent them from cracking.
When finished, spoon the rest of the sauce across the enchiladas (save some for serving if you wish). Sprinkle with additional shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake the enchiladas until the cheese is melted and just starting to brown, approximately 30-45 minutes.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides and toppings.
Notes
You can use any cheese for the filling as you wish. I find a white cheese like Monterey Jack is the best because it does not overpower the Mexican Street Corn flavors.Any enchilada sauce will work, but I love our Creamy Roasted Poblano and Lime Enchilada Sauce because the flavors are a perfect compliment to the enchiladas and do not overpower the flavors.I use frozen corn that has been thawed for the salsa. You can also use fresh or canned. Canned may alter the taste slightly due to the brine it is in.I love to serve these with additional Mexican Street Corn Salsa, sour cream, lime wedges, jalapeno, and avocados.These enchiladas taste great with our Green Chile Rice!
