Mexican Street Corn

Ingredients:

  • 8 fresh corn on the cob
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 limes
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons chili flakes
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup crispy onion chips (shallots)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Peel the husks off the corn, leaving the husks at the end of the cob intact, and tie them with a string. Soak the tied husks in water to prevent burning.
  2. Brush the corn cobs with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Grill the corn for 3-4 minutes on all four surfaces. You can place foil down on the grill to protect the husks.
  3. While the corn is cooking, heat the cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the crumbled feta cheese and whisk frequently until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Once the corn is cooked, brush each cob with mayonnaise.
  5. Pour the melted feta cheese cream over the corn.
  6. Sprinkle chili flakes over the corn for a spicy kick.
  7. Squeeze the juice of the limes over the corn and zest some lime on top for extra flavor.
  8. Garnish the corn with crispy onion chips (shallots) for crunch and fresh chopped cilantro for added freshness.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Mexican Street Corn as a side dish or with pulled pork BBQ!

Note: You can also serve extra lime wedges on the side for those who want an extra citrus kick.
