Grilled Mexican Street Corn Pizza: A #ZeroWaste Twist on Campfire Classics

Trend Spotlight:
Outdoor cooking in North America is riding the wave of global flavors, with Mexican-inspired dishes surging in popularity—evidenced by Google Trends’ 2025 spike in searches for “Mexican campfire recipes” and “creative pizza hacks.” TikTok’s #GlobalEatsChallenge (22B+ views) and the USDA’s push for reducing food waste align perfectly with this smoky, cheesy fusion dish. Plus, street food nostalgia meets eco-consciousness as campers seek ways to repurpose leftovers into craveable meals

Gear Up:
This recipe shines on a portable charcoal grill or campfire grate—ideal for achieving the charred, crispy crust that defines authentic street-style pizza.

Ingredients (Serves 4):

• 4 pre-made pizza dough rounds (or DIY dough for #FromScratch bragging rights)
• 2 cups cooked corn kernels (leftover grilled corn works wonders!)
• 1/2 cup crema or Greek yogurt (mix with lime zest for tang)
• 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco
• 1 tsp chili powder + extra for dusting
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced (quick-pickle with lime juice for 10 minutes)
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Fire-to-Table Magic:

• Prep the Base: Stretch dough into rustic rounds. Brush lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
• Char the Crust: Place dough directly on a medium-hot grill or grate. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until bubbly and crisp-edged10.
• Layer the Flavors: Spread crema over grilled crusts. Top with corn, pickled onions, and a sprinkle of chili powder.
• Finish with Flair: Crumble queso fresco over the pizza. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges. Hashtag #StreetCornVibes for those golden-hour food pics!
