Mexican street corn cups (another recipe adapted from the pillsbury bake off contestant)

Happy holidays fans, I decided to make on Christmas eve, party apps to nibble to mingle around the Christmas tree so I decide to take my Mexican roots on my father side of the family and made Mexican street corn cups using Pillsbury cresents mmm. I just learned from Wikipedia not only i am catholic but also funny guy from today's tonight show Jimmy fallon is also a Catholic which we have a lot in common. I know he's a Italian and all and has 2 girls Winnie and Newborn Frances Fallon. but I didn't know that until I looked up, now you know its interesting... so for me I am not Italian sorry but love the Italian food and people in general, but I am happy to  Swedish, Swiss , Dutch and Norweigan on my mom's side. I am Mexican but I don't like to be called Mexican too much I prefer to called just European mix I am more European than Mexican in my soul has to offer but enjoy my newest creation on my Christmas eve table so merry Christmas Fans!
