Grilled Mexican Street Corn

kkk

I made this delish recipe a while ago but didn't manage to snap many good photos. The original recipe has much more enticing photos if you want to check it out. This was my first time trying Mexican Street Corn and I really love how it turned out. I left out one or two ingredients that I didn't think were necessary and adjusted the cooking method slightly so here's my version of the recipe.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serving size: 4

Ingredients:

For the Spread
4 ears fresh corn, husked
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
2 tbsp. light sour cream
1/4 tsp. garlic salt

For the Topping
1/4 cup grated Cotija cheese
1 teaspoon paprika
Chopped cilantro

    What To Do:
    1. Soak 4 wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes. 
    2. Pierce a skewer halfway into the end of each corn cob.
    3. Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 400 degrees F).
    4. Combine the spread ingredients in a bowl and the topping ingredients in a separate bowl. 
    5. Smear the spread over each cob and sprinkle on the topping mixture.
    6. Wrap each corn individually in a piece of aluminum foil securing it so the toppings don't fall out.
    7. Place the foil wrapped corn directly on the grill, cover at let cook for a total of 20 minutes, turning often until the kernels are tender.

    Serve immediately and enjoy!

    1. This looks so good! I used to love corn. We have a lot of bbq places around here that do it outside on the smoke pits and it is really good. I haven't had it in years though!

    19. So I've always wondered about this because I love corn- especially in the summertime, but I'm not a big mayo person-- but maybe with the cheese and spices you can't really taste it?

    20. Yum, we're always looking for good sides especially in the summer for grill nights. I'm not huge on corn but I don't mind it when seasoned so this is great!

    21. I'm always interested in finding new things to cook on the grill because all too often we stick to chicken and burgers! I will definitely have to make this :)
