ROASTED CORN MEXICAN STYLE (MAIZ ASADO)



Roasted Corn Mexican Style (Maiz Asado) image

In Mexico you can find this delicious grilled corn on the cob at street fairs and carnivals. The corn is dipped in a Mayonaise mixture and sprinkled with cotija cheese. It is messy but so much fun to eat. Just have plenty of napkins on hand.

Provided by Juliann Esquivel @Juliann

Categories     Vegetables

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 large ears of fresh sweet corn
1/2 cup(s) mayonnaise
1/2 cup(s) sour cream
1 tablespoon(s) lime juice
1 teaspoon(s) grated lime zest or peel
2 cup(s) grated cotija or parmesan cheese
2 teaspoon(s) ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) chipotle chile powder or diced chipotles in salsa

Steps:

  • Peel corn husks down to the base of each cob. Leaving the husks attached. Remove the silk. Remove 1 long piece of corn husk from each cob to use as a tie. Pull husks from corn; tie with the piece of husk or a string to provide a handle.
  • Soak in a large pot or sink filled with water for twenty minutes. Drain (corn should be wet but not dripping when placed on the grill).
  • Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and lime zest in a small bowl. Spoon into a very tall wide glass. Combine on a plate the grated cheese and the chile powders spreading on the plate.
  • heat the grill. Grill the corn, covered over medium heat or coals 8 to 10 minutesor until tender and beginning to char, turning every two minutes. Cool corn for two minutes after taken off the grill.
  • Holding corn by the husks, dip into the mayonnaise mixture; then roll in the cheese mixture. It's so gooood. Enjoy
  • A tall wide glass is the perfect container for the mayonnaise dipping sauce. Just make sure it is wide and deep enough to accomodate an ear of corn.
  • Above picture is not mine; but I have used to show you what the corn should look like. Will post mine in a few days.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh corn: Look for ears with tightly packed, plump kernels and no blemishes. The tassels at the tip should be slightly brown and dry.
  • Remove the husks: Peel back the husks and remove the silky strands. Leave about an inch of the husk attached to the base of the corn to help keep the kernels moist during roasting.
  • Soak the corn: Soaking the corn in water for 30 minutes to an hour before roasting will help prevent the kernels from drying out. This step is especially important if you're using older corn.
  • Season the corn: Brush the corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and your favorite seasonings. You can also add some chopped herbs, grated cheese, or crumbled bacon.
  • Roast the corn: Place the corn on a preheated grill or in a roasting pan in a preheated oven. Roast the corn for 15-20 minutes, or until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve the corn: Serve the corn immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Roasted corn is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a snack, side dish, or main course. With its smoky flavor and tender, juicy kernels, roasted corn is a surefire crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give roasted corn a try. You won't be disappointed!
