Mexican Street Corn is a Summer Favourite! It is fancy looking and super easy to make! This recipe takes the buttered corn recipe to the next level with only a few simple steps! The great thing about this recipe also is that you can prepare it before hand! It is super quick to finish giving you more time with your guests! The flavours of grilled corn, and then a lime chili twist, and the mayo turns into this beautiful buttery coating. Oh dear is it good! You can even go further by topping the corn with crumbled cotija cheese and fresh cilantro and don’t forget to give it one last squeeze of lime at the end! It is packed with flavour and very filling! It is a meal all by itself!
I love making this in the summer as a side dish for guests! It always gets a WOW. I like to prepare everything early in the day and have it all ready to go! I hope you enjoy this recipe!
