Somos Releases Mexican Street Corn

SOMOS launched Mexican Street Corn White Rice as a ready-to-heat side inspired by esquites, the Mexican street-corn dish. The pouch combines white rice with fire-roasted corn and seasonings for a quick option that works in bowls, tacos, or alongside a main dish.

What is in SOMOS Mexican Street Corn White Rice?

The product combines long-grain white rice with fire-roasted sweet corn, epazote, chile de árbol, garlic, and onion. The roasted corn gives the rice a smoky note, while the epazote adds a distinctive herbal flavor.

Inspired by esquites

SOMOS has described the product as inspired by esquites, a Mexican street-food preparation built around corn and seasonings. The packaged rice is not the same thing as a fresh cup of esquites, but it borrows that flavor direction in a convenient format.

How to use it

The rice can work as a side dish, a base for a burrito bowl, or a filling component for tacos. SOMOS also uses it in current recipe ideas alongside beans, chicken, vegetables, cheese, and other toppings.

Who the pouch is for

This kind of shelf-stable side is useful when dinner needs one more component and nobody is volunteering to chop an onion. It can shorten the path to a grain bowl or taco plate without pretending to replace fresh esquites from a street vendor. The convenience is the main selling point. Add vegetables, beans or a protein and it becomes part of a fuller meal instead of a pouch standing alone under the kitchen lights.

Anyone watching sodium or managing food allergies should rely on the current package. Seasonings and formulas can change, and a convenient pouch still deserves the same label check as any other packaged side.
