Throughout Mexico, street vendors sell corn on the cob slathered in butter, lime juice, cheese, and chili powder. We've brought the idea to your dinner plate with our version that turns this delectable street food into a tortilla bowl. Roasted corn kernels are the star attraction atop a salad of romaine, black beans, and red onion tossed in a smoky sour cream dressing. Served in a tortilla bowl that stunningly easy to make, this is elevated comfort at its finest.
