Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons chili powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 ears corn, unhusked
4 limes
½ cup crumbled Cotija cheese (queso anejado)

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Mix together chili powder, kosher salt, and cayenne in a small bowl. Set mixed seasonings aside.
  • Remove most of the silk while leaving 2 to 3 layers of husk on each ear of corn.
  • Cook corn on the preheated grill until husks are slightly charred, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, for 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool slightly. Remove husks carefully, leaving stems on as handles.
  • Squeeze 1/2 lime over each ear of corn. Sprinkle each with mixed seasonings to taste and top generously with Cotija cheese.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the cotija cheese from this recipe. It was still delicious! The roasted corn was flavorful and the toppings were perfect. I especially loved the mayonnaise and sour cream.

This recipe is a great way to enjoy Mexican street corn at home. The roasted corn is smoky and flavorful, and the toppings are authentic and delicious. I would recommend using fresh cilantro and lime juice for the best flavor.
