We love pairing tacos de elote with a fresh salad or salsa verde. Of course, tacos go with many things - pico de gallo, nachos, guacamole, slaw, salsas, and more. The sky is the limit! ## Leftovers Spoonfeed meal plans save you money by using the economy of scale. Making extra from dinner into a leftover lunch avoids spending money and extra time cooking! For tacos, keep the filling and tortilla separate. If you're at the office/have no hob access for the leftovers, tortillas can always be warmed in the microwave. ## Utensils - Sauté pot - Frying pan (non-stick) - Mixing/serving bowl - Deep cooking spoon - Spatula ## Ingredients - 8 taco corn tortillas - 200g chicken/veggie chicken (we use Plan't from Colruyt) - 250g sweetcorn - 50g fresh cheese/feta - 1 spring onion - 2 tbsp mayonnaise - 2 tbsp sour cream - 1 lime - 1 garlic clove - 2 tsp ground cumin - 1 tsp cayenne pepper - 1 tsp dried oregano - Olive oil - Chilli flakes to taste - Fresh herbs (parsley/coriander) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/df/e2/dfe23f9a-c6d9-4c5b-9083-ba6a7f57d992/content/images/2025/07/Tacos_Elote_Plate_Cut-Out_Shadow-banner-min.png) ## Method 1. Drain sweetcorn and add to a sauté pot in a small amount of olive oil on medium-high heat, adding salt and black pepper. Fry for a few minutes until nicely coated and uniform. Set aside in a the mixing/serving bowl. 2. Thinly slice spring onion and add to the sweetcorn. 3. Add chicken cut into strips/veggie chicken strips to a sauté pot in a splash of olive oil on medium-high heat. Spice with cumin, chilli flakes, cayenne pepper, and oregano. Sear the strips for about 5 minutes. Keep them moving to avoid burning. Once nicely browned, set aside in a separate serving bowl. 4. While the meat is cooking, add minced garlic, mayonnaise, sour cream, cubed feta, a handful of fresh herbs, and lime juice to the sweetcorn. 5. Warm your tortillas on a frying pan with a dash of oil for about 1 minute, until browned on each side. 6. Plate each person two tortillas and fill as you like, serving buffet-style. Consider hot sauce and extra fresh herbs on top to elevate the flavour. 7. Enjoy!
