street corn

A much less messier way to have your favorite side dish! Mexican street corn off the cob tastes just as great as the 'on the cob' version!

Mexican Street Corn off the Cob

unsalted butter

corn, shucked and kernels removed ((about 3-4 cups depending on how large your corn is))

mayo

cotija cheese,

smoked paprika

green onion stalk, finely chopped

parsley

Salt and pepper,

In a cast iron skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat then add the corn kernels. Spread in an even layer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until exterior is charred/browned, stirring frequently. Be careful of the popping action of the heated kernels!

Once charred/browned, place into a large bowl then mix in mayo, cotija, paprika, green onion, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Mix to combine then divide evenly and serve!

Learn how to make elote with this simple recipe! We'll top grilled corn on the cob with a tangy blend of mayonnaise, lime, chili powder, and finish it with a heavy sprinkle of Cotjia cheese and cilantro. Serve elote as a snack or appetizer, or as a side dish to any Mexican meal. Recipe yields 4 elotes; multiply as needed.

Elote (Mexican Street Corn)

grilled

mayonnaise

lime juice

chili powder,

cayenne pepper (optional,

salt salt

(about 1/2 cup) finely grated Cotija cheese*

cilantro

While you&#8217;re grilling your corn, prepare the chili-mayo sauce and Cotija-cilantro blend. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, optional cayenne, and salt. Stir until combined. In a separate bowl, mix together the cheese and cilantro. Set both bowls aside.

When your corn is ready to go, brush the mayonnaise mixture all over one ear of corn. Over a plate, sprinkle the Cotjia mixture liberally all over, turning the corn as necessary (it&#8217;s going to be a little messy, no way around it!). Place the finished cob on a separate serving plate. Repeat for the remaining corn, using the cheese in the bowl and the excess on the plate as needed.

Sprinkle a pinch or two of additional chili powder lightly over the corn. Serve warm.

I made it and my husband(my resisitant vegetable eater) said, "this is heaven". Yeah, that good! Yeah, that simple!

Yum!! This recipe was delicious!! Thank you

DELICIOUSSSSSS! My boyfriend and I will be making this again this weekend!

Really tasty, next time I’ll crumble the cheese smaller and put more mayo sauce to stick the stuff together

This was fantastic! I keep thinking about it. :) Perfect end-of-summer treat!

All the non-corn eaters in my home are now loving...and demanding this corn! What a delicious and fun way to dress up corn on the cob. I'm a huge fan. I used parmesan instead of cotija because that is what I had and replaced the cilantro for parsley.

Spicy-Sweet Street Corn: a Blackstone Griddle Recipe

bacon

onion

Optional toppings:

lime

Cojtilla cheese

Tajín Clásico Seasoning

Shuck corn. Take care to make sure all silk has been removed

Use a sharp knife and the two bowl method to remove the corn kernels from the cob

Stack the bacon slices on top of each other

Make a slice down the center of the bacon and then cut across the bacon to dice. The diced bacon should be about a half-inch in length and not much wider than the width of a pencil

Dice your sweet onion

Roughly chop the jalapeno rings to break them up slightly

Preheat your Blackstone Griddle to medium-high and set it for two-zone cooking

Render the bacon first, cooking it to about 80% done

Slide the bacon to the cool side of the griddle

Saute the onion in the bacon grease for three minutes

Add the jalapenos to the onion and cook for an additional three minutes

Slide the jalapeno and onion to the cool side of the griddle

Add the corn to the warm side of the griddle and saute for two minutes, stirring constantly

Add a tablespoon or two of water or oil if the corn seems to be sticking to the griddle

Saute the corn for about 5 minutes, then combine it with the bacon, jalapenos, and onions.

Cook for an additional two or three minutes to combine the flavors

Serve in a bowl and optionally garnish with Cojtilla cheese, lime juice, and Tajín Clásico Seasoning

An easy way to cut corn off of the cob, this two bowl method is simple and makes clean up easy. 

Simply use two bowls. One much larger and wider than the other. Place the corn on the small bowl and slice away. The corn practically falls off of the cob and there is such less mess than any other methods I have tried. 

After discovering this method I fly through multiple ears of fresh corn at a time.
