    Doesn't it always seem like after a trip you are always scrambling around to get everything back into full swing? That's pretty much how this week and last week have been for me. It's during those times where I do not feel like slaving over my oven, stovetop or even grill for too long. The massive heat wave we are experiencing either doesn't help the situation.

    So I thought it would be great to share a recipe that can be made in only 30 minutes from start to finish! It's a real flavor real fast meal solution for any day of the week. It's one of my favorite summer grilling reasons, and I love how I do not have to use my kitchen at all for this recipe. It's a win-win in my book!

    Have you ever had Mexican street corn before? It's to die for, and the flavors are incredible. I took the components from the Mexican street corn and incorporated them into my Mexican corn salsa. I was originally going to call the salsa Mexican street corn salsa, but I decided not to for one reason.

    It doesn't have the cream like Mexican street corn does. So I decided just to stick with corn salsa. It's so good you can spoon it directly into your mouth. I may have tried it that way when I was making it. It's seriously that good, friends.

    So what makes these grilled pork tacos with Mexican corn salsa stand out from the others? For one, it can be made in 30 minutes from start to finish, the main ingredients can be grilled, and this pork tenderloin is already marinated. For the pork, I decided to go with Smithfield Marinated Pork in the Garlic and Herb flavor.#RealFlavorRealFast Not only can it be grilled, but we love it roasted or sautéed.
