Street Corn Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Grill the Corn

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn is tender and slightly charred.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Topping

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, chili powder, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Street Corn

    Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the grill and allow it to cool slightly. Brush the mayonnaise mixture generously over each ear of corn, ensuring it is fully coated.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Sprinkle additional Cotija cheese and chili powder on top, if desired. Serve warm with lime wedges on the side.
