Fresh sweet corn covered in Mayo and Crema, Cotija Cheese, and finished with Chili, Lime Juice, and Cilantro.
Things needed Mexican Steet Corn:
- Fresh corn
- Mayonnaise
- Mexican crema
- Cotija cheese
- Lime juice
- Chili powder
- Cilantro
Substitute for Mexican Crema:
- If you don’t have Mexican crema you can use sour cream. I’ve made it with just mayonnaise before too and it still tastes great.
Can I use a different Cheese?
- If you can’t find Cotija cheese you can use grated parmesan cheese or queso fresco
Directions for Boiling the corn:
- Fill a large stockpot with water and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Peel the corn on the cob and remove the silks, add it to the boiling water.
- Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes.
