Mexican Street Corn Recipe
Description
This recipe begins by simmering fresh corn in salted water to cook through. Afterward, the corn is grilled briefly, imparting a light char and smoky hint. A blend of softened salted butter and real mayonnaise is spread evenly over the hot corn, creating a rich, creamy base.
Sprinkling cotija cheese adds a crumbly, salty contrast that complements the sweet corn, while chili powder adds mild heat and depth. Serving with lime wedges offers a fresh, tangy finish to an otherwise rich corn preparation.
Mexican Street Corn makes a flavorful side or snack and highlights simple ingredients combined through straightforward cooking steps.
