MEXICAN STREET CORN

MEXICAN STREET CORN – This recipe gets its inspiration from Mexican street corn. Piping hot corn on the cob is smeared with mayonnaise and dredged with Queso or Cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, chile powder, lime and plenty of salt and pepper.

It sounds unusual if you’ve never had it before, but it’s not.

The mayonnaise melts right into the corn to take on a whole new flavor and acts as the ‘glue’ to hold everything together.

It’s incredibly tasty, as well as addicting and very messy which somehow makes it all the more enjoyable to eat.

You can grill the corn which is probably a more traditional way of cooking it. But I’m a big believer in roasting. All those sweet juices get trapped inside the kernels until they nearly burst with joy.

Don’t be afraid of frozen corn on the cob if fresh isn’t available. I eat it all the time. It’s frozen at the peak of freshness and can be almost as good. You can also use ‘loose’ corn and mix the ingredients right into it.

Whatever way you decide to make it, just please do!

The onslaught of flavors bursting in your mouth will make you happy you did!

Sweet yet savory, salty, spicy and succulent all at the same time with a bite of citrus, it will bring a burst of zesty delicious-flavored sunshine into your life!
