Mexican Street Corn

Here’s a delicious recipe for Mexican Street Corn:

Ingredients:

• 4 ears of corn, husked
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or butter for grilling)
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup sour cream or Mexican crema
• ½ cup Cotija cheese, crumbled (or feta)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon chili powder (or Tajín for extra tang)
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill:
   • Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re not using a grill, you can also cook the corn on a stovetop grill pan or in the oven.
2. Grill the corn:
   • Brush each ear of corn with vegetable oil (or melted butter) to prevent sticking. Place the corn on the grill, turning occasionally until it’s charred and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Prepare the sauce:
   • In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and ½ of the Cotija cheese until smooth.
4. Coat the corn:
   • Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the grill and immediately brush it generously with the mayonnaise-sour cream mixture.
5. Add toppings:
   • Sprinkle the remaining Cotija cheese all over the corn, followed by a dusting of chili powder (or Tajín for an extra kick). You can also add freshly chopped cilantro for extra flavor.
6. Serve:
   • Serve with lime wedges for squeezing on top.

Enjoy your authentic and flavorful Mexican Street Corn!
