FAQ
Can I use frozen corn instead of fresh?
Yes, thaw and pat dry frozen corn first, then grill in pan until charred. Fresh corn gives better texture and flavor.
How long does the salsa keep in the fridge?
The corn and peach salsa stays fresh for up to 3 days refrigerated in airtight container.
Can I make these tacos ahead for meal prep?
Prepare components separately and assemble when ready to eat. Eggs don't reheat well once scrambled.
