MEXICAN STREET CORN RECIPE



Mexican Street Corn Recipe image

This Mexican Street Corn recipe is a common Mexican street food that is made by grilling corn on the cob and then coating it with a mixture made up of mayonnaise, sour cream, cotija cheese, chile powder, and lime. Also called elotes, this easy to make Mexican Corn On The Cob Recipe is a perfect appetizer or side dish for any outdoor gathering. In my version here, I made it two ways - (1) on the cob and (2) off the cob or in a skillet. They are both delicious and ready in less than half an hour.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 medium-size ears of yellow corn on the cob
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted butter
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon chile powder
1 tablespoon lime juice (plus wedges of a lime for serving)
½ cup crumbled cotija cheese
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)

Steps:

  • To prep the corn: Fold the husk of each corn back leaf by leaf and tie them with kitchen twine. Lightly brush corn on the cub with oil.
  • Heat a grill pan or an outdoor grill. Grill corn, turning occasionally until it is browned in spots. Keep an eye on it as this happens rather quickly.
  • To make the sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, chile powder, and lime juice in a bowl.
  • Brush each grilled corn the mayo mixture and sprinkle with cotija cheese. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
  • To prep the corn: Cut the corn off the cob. I used 6 ears to get about 4 1/2 cups. Alternatively, you can also use canned corn or frozen corn. If using frozen, you do not need to thaw it out.
  • Sauté corn: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the corn, and stirring frequently, sauté for 5-7 minutes until it starts to char. If you are using frozen corn, you might need to cook a few minutes longer. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Make the sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, chile powder, and lime juice in a bowl.
  • Assemble: Add in the mayo mixture into the sauteed corn. Give it a mix. Stir in the cotija cheese and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve in small bowls with wedges of lime on the side.
