- 2.5 cups frozen yellow corn
- 2 tbsp water
- ⅓ cup vegan mayo
- ½ tsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- ½ tsp kosher salt I use Morton's
- ½ cup vegan Parmesan I use VioLife
- 20 oz frozen vegan chicken, not breaded about 2 bags
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp water
For serving
- 12 medium flour tortillas
- 2 avocados chopped
- 1 cup fresh cilantro chopped
Start by thawing the corn by placing the frozen corn and water to a large pan with a lid. Steam for 3-5 minutes or until warmed through. Drain any excess water and allow it to cool slightly.
While the corn steams, make the sauce by combining the vegan mayo, vegan parmesan, lime juice, chili powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine and then add the slightly cooled corn. Toss well to coat and set aside at room temperature for now.
Next, return the pan to the stove and add the olive oil. Set the pan to medium-high heat and once warm, add the frozen vegan chicken and taco seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes then add the water and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
In the meantime, warm up the tortillas in a non-stick pan or in the microwave and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
To assemble the tacos, add the warm vegan chicken and street corn onto each tortilla. Top with avocado, cilantro and an extra squeeze of lime juice if desired. Enjoy!
