Mexican Street Corn

Let’s give your summer Corn a “lift” from the boring melted butter and use mayonnaise with Mexican seasonings, instead !!!! I had 5 ears but picked the 3 best and this is what I used for 3 ears

INGREDIENTS :

• 3 ears of corn
• 1/4 c of Avocado Oil ( or whatever oil you have on hand
• 1/2 c mayonnaise (Hellmann’s or Best West NOT Miracle Whip!)
• 1 TBS Chili Powder
• 1 Jalapeño, seeded and minced ( If a Gringo, leave out)
• 1/2 c  Cojeta cheese or Feta…no big difference, crumbled
• I used seasoned Salt…just look at your spices and be adventurous!

DIRECTIONS: LIGHT THE Bar-B-Que

 

Remove corn from husk and I picked the best 3 and made sure they were clean

Take oil and brush over each ear of corn

Set in pan or directly on fire on high heat and roast turning frequently so it does not burn. About 15-20 minutes.

Mix together your ingredients into the mayonnaise

Start getting excited !!!

After Corn is grilled, lather them with the Mayonaise mix

Then top with the cheese, minced jalapeños and cilantro and enjoy each and EVERY morsel !!!!

Finger Licking, GOOD !!!
