Easy Mexican Street Corn

One of my favorite things to make on the grill is this Easy Mexican Street Corn. It’s so easy to make and the flavors pop! Definitely, a tasty summer side dish that anyone would love!

Ingredients:

  • 4 ears of corn
  • ¼ cup of Crema Sour Cream
  • ¼ cup of mayonnaise
  • ½ cup of cheese, crumbled
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed (or finely minced)
  • ¼ teaspoon of fine sea salt
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup of Cilantro, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon of chipotle chili powder

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill to around 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. The corn can be grilled with or without the husks. I took the husks off to ensure that the corn got some lovely grill marks and to give it a nice grilled flavor. To make the husks, soak the corn in water for 10 minutes before grilling. Spray each item lightly with cooking spray to remove the scales.
  3. Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 12 minutes, flipping the cobs every three minutes.
  4. To make the topping sauce, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, garlic, lime zest and juice, and cilantro in a mixing bowl.
  5. Top each corn cob with a generous helping of the cheese mixture, a pinch of chipotle chile powder, and a sprinkling of cilantro.
  6. ENJOY!
