MEXICAN STREET CORN RECIPE



Mexican Street Corn Recipe image

This Mexican Street Corn recipe is a common Mexican street food that is made by grilling corn on the cob and then coating it with a mixture made up of mayonnaise, sour cream, cotija cheese, chile powder, and lime. Also called elotes, this easy to make Mexican Corn On The Cob Recipe is a perfect appetizer or side dish for any outdoor gathering. In my version here, I made it two ways - (1) on the cob and (2) off the cob or in a skillet. They are both delicious and ready in less than half an hour.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 medium-size ears of yellow corn on the cob
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted butter
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon chile powder
1 tablespoon lime juice (plus wedges of a lime for serving)
½ cup crumbled cotija cheese
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)

Steps:

  • To prep the corn: Fold the husk of each corn back leaf by leaf and tie them with kitchen twine. Lightly brush corn on the cub with oil.
  • Heat a grill pan or an outdoor grill. Grill corn, turning occasionally until it is browned in spots. Keep an eye on it as this happens rather quickly.
  • To make the sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, chile powder, and lime juice in a bowl.
  • Brush each grilled corn the mayo mixture and sprinkle with cotija cheese. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
  • To prep the corn: Cut the corn off the cob. I used 6 ears to get about 4 1/2 cups. Alternatively, you can also use canned corn or frozen corn. If using frozen, you do not need to thaw it out.
  • Sauté corn: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the corn, and stirring frequently, sauté for 5-7 minutes until it starts to char. If you are using frozen corn, you might need to cook a few minutes longer. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Make the sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, chile powder, and lime juice in a bowl.
  • Assemble: Add in the mayo mixture into the sauteed corn. Give it a mix. Stir in the cotija cheese and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve in small bowls with wedges of lime on the side.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
1/3 cup 2-percent Greek yogurt
Zest and juice of 1/2 lime
Kosher salt
1 pound frozen corn, thawed (about 3 1/2 cups)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lime-yogurt mixture, 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Transfer to a serving dish and top with cilantro, the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan and a sprinkle of chili powder.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh corn on the cob. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks. Avoid ears with brown or yellow husks, as these are signs of old or overripe corn.
  • Soak the corn in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to prevent the kernels from drying out.
  • Cook the corn over medium heat. This will help to prevent the kernels from burning.
  • Baste the corn with melted butter or olive oil during cooking. This will help to keep the kernels moist and flavorful.
  • Season the corn with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Common seasonings include garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Garnish the corn with grated Parmesan cheese, chopped cilantro, or other fresh herbs before serving.
