COPYCAT CHILI'S ROASTED STREET CORN RECIPE BY TASTY



Copycat Chili's Roasted Street Corn Recipe by Tasty image

The secret to Chili's roasted street corn is the charred exterior. Without a grill, Katie improvised and roasted the corn in the oven to achieve similar results, then slathered the cob with creamy, spicy mayo and topped it with Cotija cheese and cilantro. If you don't have Cotija, you can substitute grated Parmesan cheese.
