Mexican Street Corn Recipes

Steps:

• Grill, roast or broil corn to your liking.
• Spread cooked corn with a thin layer of mayonnaise or sour cream, then roll in cheese to coat.
• Sprinkle with cayenne.
• Squeeze lime juice from wedges to taste. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place corn, in husks, directly on the oven rack.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender and cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Peel down husks and rub each ear of corn with 1 tablespoon butter. Sprinkle each with Cotija cheese, cilantro, chili powder, and lime juice. Serve.

Steps:

• Heat a 14-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet. Spread frozen corn evenly across the skillet; do not stir. Cook corn for approximately 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and coriander in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Check the corn; it should be slightly charred. If not, allow to continue cooking for 4 more minutes (stirring is fine at this point.)
• Once corn is sufficiently browned/charred, transfer to the bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Add cotija cheese, red onion, and cilantro and mix until well combined. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Carefully peel back corn husks to within 1 in. of bottoms; remove silk. Brush corn with oil. Rewrap corn in husks; secure with kitchen string. Place in a Dutch oven; cover with cold water. Soak 20 minutes; drain., Grill corn, covered, over medium heat 25-30 minutes or until tender, turning often. Peel back husks. Spread mayonnaise over each ear; sprinkle with chili powder, cojita cheese and cilantro. Squeeze lime wedges over corn before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• For the lime salt: Add the kosher salt and lime zest to a spice grinder. Pulse a few times to combine. Set aside in a small bowl.
• For the spicy mayonnaise: In a bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, chili sauce and lime juice together until combined. Set aside.
• For the corn: Grill the corn until lightly charred on all sides. Cut the ears in half and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with the Monterey Jack and some of the spicy mayonnaise to coat, using more or less mayonnaise to your liking.
• Stack the corn on a large plate and sprinkle with the lime salt. Garnish with lime wedges, cilantro leaves and extra cheese if you like.

Steps:

• Boil the corn for about 5 minutes.
• Push a skewer through the middle of each ear of corn.
• Drain, then brush them evenly with the melted butter.
• Spread a bit of mayo all over each ear of corn.
• Scoop the cotija cheese generously on the corn, making sure it covers all sides.
• Sprinkle a little bit of the chili powder evenly across the corn.
• Serve!
