This is the most amazing way to eat corn period. I’m fairly upset with myself considering I lived about an hour from the Mexican border in Arizona for 2 years after Katrina; yet, I hadn’t had street corn until I moved to Ohio.
I can’t say how good this stuff is enough. The best part is it’s super simple to make.
All you have to do is grill or boil the corn, baste it with butter, then baste it with mayonnaise and coat it in cotija cheese. After they are coated in the cheese, dust them lightly with chili powder, squirt some fresh lime juice and garnish with cilantro.
For those wondering what corona cheese is; it’s simply a hard crumble cheese similar to feta or Parmigiana. If you can’t find cotija you can use either queso fresco or feta. For the chili powder, I’ve been told ancho chili works best.
Y’all have got to give this one a try! You will thanks for it.
