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 mayonaise is ew). Nope, this is quick and easy and your kids will love it.
ingredients:
fresh corn on the cob
butter
parmesan cheese
lime
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. Open up and add a squeeze of lime, then eat!!
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
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?
