Mexican Roasted Corn
Nothing is better than fresh corn roasted on the grill. This is a cheater’s Mexican corn because we aren’t using cotija here, OR mayo, since mayonaisse makes me barf. Nope, this is quick and easy and your kids will love it.
ingredients:
fresh corn on the cob
butter
parmesan cheese
If you don’t want to deal with the husks, just take them off and lay the corn on a piece of foil. Add a few dabs of butter, sprinkle liberally with cheese, and roll up the cob in the foil.
Put on a hot grill for 20-25 minutes. Then eat!!

This is super simple and super clean, especially for those like me who have to use the broiler for such things.
If you don’t care about a little extra silk in your corn and if you really want to get great corn flava:
1 – shuck it until you only have one or two layers of husk left
2 – pull as much silk as you can
3 – Drop is on the grill (or broiler), turning every 5 minutes or so.
Don’t soak it or you’ll steam your corn instead of caramelizing the sugars.

So yummy. Made it today with our hot dogs and I was in LOVE. I love corn but never thought about adding Parm to it (and I LOVE parm!) I also LOVE LOVE Mexican corn! I will chase down a cart just to get me some of that Mexican corn!

the mayo is there to hold the cheese nothing more
to build the ‘mexican corn’:
1 add butter to the corn
2 add mayonase (not miricle whip or any of that sweet stuff)
3 add hard grated cheese http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/mexicancheeses.htm
4 add powdered McCormick Hot Mexican-Style Chili Powder
5 add a bit of salt
6 add a little bit of lemon juice
enjoy

Gday! Wonderful thought, but will this genuinely operate?
