I have to share this Mexican Street Corn recipe! It takes corn-on-the-cob to the next level. Ever seen the street vendors in major cities or tried the chili-lime corn at Disneyland? Well now you can make your own… it’s so much better and a lot cheaper!

Ingredients
- 6 ears of fresh sweet corn, still in their husks
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 cup of Mexican crema (or sour cream mixed with a little bit of milk so it is easily spreadable)
- 1/3 cup crumbed Mexican queso anejo, queso fresco, or parmesan, feta, or farmer’s cheese
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 lime
- A few sprigs of fresh cilantro
Directions
- About an hour before serving, soak the ears of corn with their husks on in a deep bowl of cold water. Place a plate on top to keep them submerged.
- Heat your grill. Now lay the corn on the grill (with their husks still on) and roast for about 15-20 minutes, turning frequently until the outer leaves are blackened. Remove.
- Let cool for several minutes, then remove the husks and silk.
- About 10 minutes before serving, brush the melted butter onto the corn and then return corn to the grill. Turn frequently until corn is nicely browned.
- Serve right away, applying some cream, cheese, chili powder. Then sprinkle with a little juice of a lime and a few sprigs of fresh cilantro.
