Growing up in AZ meant we were right over the border from some of my favorite towns in Mexico, Puerto Penasco. There was always someone who was up for a quick weekend getaway which meant TACOS ALL DAY LONG!! Fish tacos. Steak tacos. Shrimp tacos. Picadillo tacos... You name it... It was amazing. My idea of a perfect weekend getaway.

Today we're making a version of my favorite street tacos from back in the day... Steak Tacos with Corn Salsa! Easy to make, even easier to eat! And the corn is like a burst of freshness in your mouth along with the marinated grilled steak. Ugh, I can't even deal. It's everything.

Very tasty. I made queso fresco, added that to corn salsa and topped tacos with it. Used Rib Eye, all I had, I did add minced garlic to meat & corn. Very good! Keeper!
I made this recipe last night but used flat iron steak instead. It was a crowd pleaser!! Kids and adults loved it and the corn relish was AMAZING!!
Another great recipe! I made this for a small super bowl party and everyone loved it. Plus the leftovers are delicious! ❤️
Honestly, this meal had the best flavors of any dish I’ve had outside of a restaurant. It’s the type of meal I would order over and over again. Thank you so much for the fresh, creative recipe!
Made these last night and they were great! Loved the flavor of the meat. I added a little red onion to the corn salsa. Would also be great with a sprinkling of cojita cheese! Full family loved them - will certainly be making often. Thanks!
Holy cow - these are so so good!! Why don’t these get more attention as being a top WGC recipe?? The corn salsa pairs so nicely with the steak, and it’s so simple to make! 10/10
Making this tonight! I noticed in the ingredients, chipotle powder is listed, and in the recipe instructions chile powder is listed. Which should I use?
ah! good catch! chipotle
This is another reason to love summer even more!!
I used flank steak instead which I marinated for two hours. Also, I used more green onions which I noticed made the flavors explode more. Fantastic thank you!
I can't wait for fresh corn to be ready. This looks awesome and could be used in so many ways!
Want all the tacos!!! Mmm 🙂
That corn relish is calling my name!
Wow, I can nearly taste these just from looking at the screen they look so delish! I can see that this is something I'm going to have to try!
Corn relish and steak! Great combo!
Love the pictures! The tacos look delicious!
