Notes

  • Recipe Tips.
  • Store leftovers, wrapped with foil, in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. 
  • Reheat. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Wrap the cobs in foil before placing them in the oven. Cook for 7-10 minutes or until warm throughout.
  • For a nice, heavy coating, roll the cobs in the cotija. You may need extra cheese for full coverage.
  • To make it easier to eat, cut the coated corn off the cob and serve it in a cup.
  • For extra spice, add red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
