Description
A delicious and flavorful recipe for Homemade Mexican Street Corn, perfect for summer barbecues and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ears of sweet corn, husked
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt as a healthier option)
- 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta cheese as a substitute)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to your heat preference)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by husking the corn and removing all silk. Rinse the ears under cool water and pat them dry.
- Heat a barbecue or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the corn for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until kernels are lightly charred and tender.
- While the corn is grilling, in a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until you have a smooth and creamy sauce.
- Once the corn is grilled, remove it from heat. While it’s still warm, slather the creamy mixture all over the grilled corn, ensuring you cover every delicious inch.
- Sprinkle the corn generously with crumbled cotija cheese. Finish with a sprinkle of extra chili powder and fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
- Serve warm and enjoy your Homemade Mexican Street Corn with friends and family!
Notes
- Feta cheese works great as a substitute for cotija cheese.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder based on your heat preference.
- This dish is best served warm.
