Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground hamburger (80/20)
  • 6 flour taco-sized tortillas
  • 5–6 ears of corn (husked and removed from the cob)
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 jalapeño, diced
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup cilantro leaves (large stems removed)
  • 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños
  • 2 tablespoons juice from pickled jalapeños
  • 1 heaping tablespoon dry ranch seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh
  • 1/3 cup sliced scallions
  • 1/3 cup grated cojita cheese
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, minced (large stems removed)
  • Optional: 1/2-1 tsp chili powder
  • Optional: 1/2-1 tsp Tajin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Jalapeño Ranch Sauce: In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, pickled jalapeños with their juice, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and lime juice until smooth.
  2. Make the Street Corn: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté corn kernels with minced garlic until golden brown. Stir in lime juice, scallions, cheese, cilantro, jalapeño, optional chili powder/Tajin, and salt.
  3. Cook the Burgers: Season ground beef with salt and pepper. Form six equal patties and smash them down for maximum crustiness. Cook in a hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Assemble Tacos: Warm tortillas briefly; place each burger patty on a tortilla. Top generously with street corn mixture and drizzle with jalapeño ranch sauce.
