Mexican Street Corn

By msippigrl

This is so good! I was skeptical by the uncommon list of ingredients but it all came together so well !

Ingredients

• Fresh ears of yellow or bi-color corn, husked and silks removed (leave the stalk on for easier eating)
• Margarine or salted butter
• Mayo (I used Blue Plate)
• Grated Cotija cheese (can use Feta, Queso Fresco, or Parmesan)
• Chili powder combined with a little ground cayenne pepper
• Chopped cilantro for garnish, optional
• Fresh lime wedges, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Cook cleaned ears of corn as desired. (I boiled it, then lightly buttered it and seared briefly in a hot skillet).

When corn is done:

1) Lightly butter the corn.
2) Using a butter knife, spread a light coat of mayo over top of corn.
3) Sprinkle grated cheese on top.
4) Sprinkle with chili powder mixture.
5) Garnish top with cilantro.
6) Serve immediately with a squeeze of lime juice.
