👉 Mexican Street Corn 🌽 They Removed This from Norwegian Bliss… We Recreated It

Craving that bold, creamy, slightly spicy corn from Los Lobos that used to be available on the Norwegian Bliss? 🌽🚢 We were too… so we recreated this Mexican street corn inspired recipe at home using frozen corn—and it turned out amazing. This recipe is inspired by the corn we loved at Los Lobos on Norwegian Bliss. While Los Lobos is no longer available on Norwegian Bliss, you can still find this restaurant on other Norwegian Cruise Line ships like Norwegian Prima, Norwegian Viva, Norwegian Aqua, Norwegian Dawn, and Norwegian Sun. When we couldn’t find fresh corn on the cob, we used frozen corn instead—and honestly, it works perfectly for an easy, quick, and flavorful side dish you can make anytime. In this Calm Sea Cooks recipe, we’ll show you how to make a creamy, cheesy, slightly tangy corn dish inspired by classic Mexican street corn (elote) and esquites (off-the-cob version). 🎯 What You’ll Learn: • How to make Mexican street corn without corn on the cob • How to use frozen corn for maximum flavor • Simple ingredients that recreate cruise-style taste • Tips for getting that creamy, slightly smoky finish 🌮 Perfect For: • Taco night • Grilled meats • Quick weeknight dinners • Cruise-inspired meals at home 🚢 Whether you’ve sailed on Norwegian Bliss or discovered Los Lobos on another ship, this recipe brings a little cruise magic into your kitchen. 👉 Let us know in the comments if you’ve tried Los Lobos on any ship or your favorite cruise dish you’d love us to recreate next 💙 ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Mexican Street Corn Recipe 1:00 Review Ingredients 2:06 Prep Vegetables 3:46 Sauté the Corn 7:17 Make It Creamy 10:51 Plating and Taste Test 🌽 Mexican Street Corn Recipe 🛒 Ingredients 1 bag frozen corn (about 12–16 oz) 1/2 onion, finely diced 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup mayonnaise Juice of 1 lime (plus extra wedges for serving) 1/4 cup Cotija cheese, crumbled 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped 1/2 to 1 teaspoon gochugaru (Korean pepper flakes, to taste) or chili powder Salt to taste 🔥 Instructions 1.
