Description
A smoky, creamy, and addictive grilled Mexican street corn dish topped with chipotle crema and cotija cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn, husked
- 1/2 cup Mexican crema (or a mix of sour cream and mayo)
- 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
- 1 tablespoon chipotle seasoning (or 1 tsp chipotle powder + 1 tsp smoked paprika + 1/2 tsp salt)
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high (about 400–450°F / 200–230°C).
- Prepare the corn by removing husks and silk, then patting them dry.
- Grill the corn for 10–15 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes until charred and tender.
- Make the crema by whisking together the Mexican crema and chipotle seasoning in a bowl.
- Brush each ear of corn generously with the crema mixture right after grilling.
- Add crumbled cotija cheese and garnish with lime wedges and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, serve hot and apply crema immediately after grilling for better adhesion of cheese.
