Best Grilled Corn Mexican Style Recipes
MEXICAN GRILLED CORN
I consider this to be the greatest corn-on-the-cob recipe of all time. The way the mild, subtly salted cheese works with an ancho-lime mayonnaise, along with that buttery, smoky corn, is a magnificent combination of flavors. Perfecto!

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Combine mayonnaise, lime juice, ancho chile powder, and smoked paprika in a bowl; whisk until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil corn in the salted water for 5 minutes. Drain the corn.
- Place ears of corn on hot grill and cook until the kernels begin to brown and caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the corn and continue to cook, turning ears after 1 to 2 minutes, until they are browned with slightly charred, caramelized spots.
- Generously brush corn with melted butter and ancho-lime mayonnaise until kernels are coated. Sprinkle ears with Cotija cheese and salt. Garnish with slices of lime.

MEXICAN GRILLED CORN
Steps:
- Remove the husks of the corn but leave the core attached at the end so you have something to hold onto. Grill the corn on a hot grill or cast iron griddle pan until slightly charred. Turn it so it gets cooked evenly all over. Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream and cilantro together. Grate the Parmesan in another bowl. While the corn is still warm slather with mayonnaise mix. Squeeze lime juice over the corn and shower with Parmesan. Season with chili powder and serve with extra lime wedges.
MEXICAN GRILLED CORN
If corn on the cob is pure Americana, then this cheesy, chili-flecked Mexican rendition is pure genius. Try to use queso fresco or cotija, two Mexican cheeses that give a real-deal touch when swapped with the Parmesan in this recipe.
