Jalapeno Popper Mexican Street Corn image

One of the best things about summer is fresh sweet corn, and this recipe is a definite standout. We love its creamy dressing, crunchy panko coating and spicy jalapeno kick. If you're really feeling wild, sprinkle these with a bit of cooked and crumbled bacon! -Crystal Schlueter, Northglenn, Colorado

The corn was a little dry, but the popper filling was delicious.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less jalapeƱo next time.

Absolutely delicious! The combination of flavors was perfect. I especially loved the smokiness from the roasted corn and the creaminess from the popper filling.
