Mexican Street Corn
This Mexican street corn recipe is always a hit! Even though it's a little bit lighter than the traditional version, it's still made with all the classic elements.
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh sweet corn (husks removed)
- ¼ cup light mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon lime zest (from ½ lime)
- 2 teaspoons lime juice (from 1 lime)
- ¾ teaspoon Tajin or chili powder
- ¼ cup cotija cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Mix the mayonnaise, lime zest, and lime juice in a small bowl until evenly combined. Set aside.
- Preheat a grill to medium high heat and lightly oil the grates. Once heated, transfer the corn to the grill. Cook, turning the corn until evenly charred, the whole process should take 5-7 minutes. Remove the corn to a rimmed baking sheet and turn the grill off.
- While the corn is still warm, use a silicone brush to coat each ear of corn with the lime mayonnaise mixture. You’ll use about 1 tablespoon of the mayo mixture per ear of corn. Sprinkle the chili powder, cotija, and cilantro on each ear of corn. Serve immediately.
