One of my all time favorite guilty pleasures is Mexican food. I’ve never met a burrito or nacho bowl I didn’t like! I know I can’t be the only one, right!?

Chris and I honeymooned in Mexico, and one of my favorite snacks from our trip was Mexican street corn nachos – they were the kind you can’t eat just one of! Ever since then, I’ve been craving them, so I figured there had to be a way I could recreate this delicious dish somehow.

I put on my unofficial chef hat and came pretty darn close if you ask me! If you’re trying to cut calories, you may want to skip this post, butttt if you’re looking for your new favorite snack, keep on reading!

A combination of both Ricos Gourmet Nacho Cheese and Queso Blanco hit the spot for me with this recipe!
Hot & Spicy Cheddar, Premium Cheddar, and Gourmet Cheddar Ricos cheese sauces would work too! All of them are trans fat free and are made without hydrogenated oils, so that’s a plus.

You can find these at Walmart and they come in a variety of 15oz and 6lb 10 oz cans giving you plenty of options for recipe making and entertaining. The cheese is great on its own too – just heat and eat!

Bonus: right now when you buy a 15oz can of Ricos cheese sauce, you get a chance to win a 2018 Ford F-150! Each can counts as an entry and you can enter to win everyday!
