We love Mexican food and corn on the cob. So I combined them into something fresh and spicy. For Italian flair, I make this corn with basil and oregano butter and Parmesan cheese.-MacKenzie Severson, Germantown, Maryland

The corn was a bit dry, but the flavors were still good. I'll try adding more butter next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll try using less chili powder next time.

The corn was a bit too charred for my taste, but the flavors were still good. I'll try grilling it for less time next time.
