How many cheeses does Mexican street corn gnocchi need? Three, one to hold the lightbulb, one to screw it in, and one to add excellent cheesy goodness to this Italian/Mexican fusion. (Whoops, wrong joke.) Parmesan, Oaxacan, and cream cheese all add their individual highlights to this meal, coming together beautifully with the fresh vegetables and rich gnocchi. As for changing out that flickering lightbulb, you're on your own.

Meatlovers! If using bacon, line a plate with a paper towel. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add bacon to hot pan. Flip occasionally until crisp and bacon reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. If using ground beef, place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef to hot pan. Stir occasionally, breaking up meat, until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes. Add proteins to meal as desired.
