Mexican Street Corn Recipe

EXTRáS

1. 1

   Prepare the Corn

   Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, husk the corn, removing all the silk and outer leaves.

2. 2

   Grill the Corn

   Place the husked corn directly on the grill. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn is charred and tender. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.

3. 3

   Make the Chipotle Mayo

   In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Mix well until the chipotle is evenly distributed throughout the mayonnaise.

4. 4

   Prepare the Toppings

   Once the corn has cooled enough to handle, brush the grilled corn with the chipotle mayo generously on all sides.

5. 5

   Add Cheese and Spices

   Sprinkle the cotija cheese, ancho chili powder, and fresh lime juice over the corn. Ensure each ear is well-covered. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Finish with Corn Crunch

   Finally, top the corn with corn crunch (tortilla chips or crumbled corn snacks) for added texture and serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
