MEXICAN STREET CORN RECIPE



Mexican Street Corn Recipe image

This Mexican Street Corn recipe is a common Mexican street food that is made by grilling corn on the cob and then coating it with a mixture made up of mayonnaise, sour cream, cotija cheese, chile powder, and lime. Also called elotes, this easy to make Mexican Corn On The Cob Recipe is a perfect appetizer or side dish for any outdoor gathering. In my version here, I made it two ways - (1) on the cob and (2) off the cob or in a skillet. They are both delicious and ready in less than half an hour.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 medium-size ears of yellow corn on the cob
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted butter
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon chile powder
1 tablespoon lime juice (plus wedges of a lime for serving)
½ cup crumbled cotija cheese
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)

Steps:

  • To prep the corn: Fold the husk of each corn back leaf by leaf and tie them with kitchen twine. Lightly brush corn on the cub with oil.
  • Heat a grill pan or an outdoor grill. Grill corn, turning occasionally until it is browned in spots. Keep an eye on it as this happens rather quickly.
  • To make the sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, chile powder, and lime juice in a bowl.
  • Brush each grilled corn the mayo mixture and sprinkle with cotija cheese. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
  • To prep the corn: Cut the corn off the cob. I used 6 ears to get about 4 1/2 cups. Alternatively, you can also use canned corn or frozen corn. If using frozen, you do not need to thaw it out.
  • Sauté corn: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the corn, and stirring frequently, sauté for 5-7 minutes until it starts to char. If you are using frozen corn, you might need to cook a few minutes longer. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Make the sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, chile powder, and lime juice in a bowl.
  • Assemble: Add in the mayo mixture into the sauteed corn. Give it a mix. Stir in the cotija cheese and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve in small bowls with wedges of lime on the side.

ELOTES (MEXICAN CORN IN A CUP)



Elotes (Mexican Corn in a Cup) image

I grew up just outside of a Mexican border town, and at least twice month my grandmother would take me across the border to do some shopping. I remember the food stands found at every corner street and almost all of them sold elotes. It was one of my favorite vendor foods. Every time I make it, I am reminded of my childhood.

MEXICAN STYLE CORN



Mexican Style Corn image

On the streets of Santa Maria, California, street vendors (think an ice cream man with a 'trash can' full of hot corn on the cob instead of ice cream) roam the sidewalks selling corn on the cob for a dollar an ear! They slide a wooden skewer in one end for you to hold the corn. We crave it often and it's become a regular on our Saturday grill nights! Give it a try. You'll be surprised!

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Corn

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ears corn on the cob, husks and silk removed
¼ cup mayonnaise (such as Hellmann's®/Best Foods®), or to taste - divided
¼ cup margarine in a squeezable container, or to taste - divided
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste - divided
1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste - divided

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and gently place ears of corn into the boiling water. Reduce heat to low and simmer until corn is very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove an ear of corn with tongs and spread about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise all over the kernels. Squeeze about 1 tablespoon of margarine over the ear of corn in a zig-zag line, turning the ear as you squeeze. Generously sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the ear and dust with chili powder. Repeat with remaining ears of corn.

MEXICAN STREET VENDOR STYLE CORN SALAD



Mexican Street Vendor Style Corn Salad image

I lived in southern California for many years. Around Cinco de Mayo, there would be fiestas in our neighborhood. Vendors sold grilled corn on the cob prepared with butter, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, chile powder and a lime wedge. They were so delicious! After moving, we'd crave this corn, so I altered the recipe using canned corn and mixed in the same ingredients for a similar treat that doesn't require an outdoor grill.
