Mexican Street Corn

Mexican Street Corn


For quite a while, I have noticed this delicious looking dish called Mexican Street Corn. It looked so tasty, but I was reluctant when I read that mayonnaise was one of the ingredients. I don’t’ mind mayonnaise but on corn? Well, I disregarded my apprehension about the mayo and just made Mexican Street Corn. Ladies and gentlemen, I must say that this stuff is so good!

I almost gave in and used butter instead of mayonnaise. However, I am so glad that I used the traditional mayo! Combined with all of the other ingredients, the mayo worked here!

I used chipotle chili powder which does add a good amount of spicy heat. If you want the flavor and not the spice, just use chili powder.

This Mexican Street Corn would be great to have at a BBQ or just a great way to liven up a dinner!

Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time25 mins
Total Time30 mins
Course: Side Dish
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 6 ears of corn on the cob cooked (You can grill the ears or bake in the oven)
  • 6 T mayonnaise
  • 1/2 t garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup grated cotija cheese
  • 1/2 to 1 t chipotle chili powder or chili powder for less spice

Instructions

  • Prepare the ears of corn. I prefer to bake the husk-covered corn on the cob in a preheated 425-degree oven for 25 minutes. Once done peel back and remove the husks.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
  • Place the cotija cheese on a plate.
  • Brush the corn with the garlic mayonnaise.
  • Roll the corn in the cheese to cover the corn.
  • Sprinkle the chili powder and cilantro over the corn.
  • Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over the corn.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

If you are an absolutely no mayo type of person, feel free to substitute the mayo with butter.
