About Cotija Cheese:
Cotija is a dry, crumbly Mexican cheese made from cow’s milk. Its bold, salty flavor makes it the perfect complement to the creamy toppings and smoky grilled corn.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 4 ears of corn, husks removed
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup Cotija cheese, crumbled
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 lime, zest and juice
- ¼ cup cilantro, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon chipotle chili powder
Instructions
1. Grill the Corn
Preheat your grill to 400°F (200°C). Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 12 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even grilling on all sides.
2. Prepare the Topping
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Cotija cheese, crushed garlic, lime zest and juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well blended.
3. Assemble the Street Corn
Spread the mixture evenly over each grilled ear of corn. Sprinkle with chipotle chili powder, then add extra Cotija cheese and a bit of chopped cilantro on top for garnish. Serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with tacos, grilled chicken, or beef for a full meal
- Serve as a tasty appetizer at a summer barbecue or dinner party
- Sprinkle extra chili powder or lime juice for added flavor
