MEXICAN STREET CORN RECIPE
This Mexican Street Corn recipe is a common Mexican street food that is made by grilling corn on the cob and then coating it with a mixture made up of mayonnaise, sour cream, cotija cheese, chile powder, and lime. Also called elotes, this easy to make Mexican Corn On The Cob Recipe is a perfect appetizer or side dish for any outdoor gathering. In my version here, I made it two ways - (1) on the cob and (2) off the cob or in a skillet. They are both delicious and ready in less than half an hour.

Steps:
- To prep the corn: Fold the husk of each corn back leaf by leaf and tie them with kitchen twine. Lightly brush corn on the cub with oil.
- Heat a grill pan or an outdoor grill. Grill corn, turning occasionally until it is browned in spots. Keep an eye on it as this happens rather quickly.
- To make the sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, chile powder, and lime juice in a bowl.
- Brush each grilled corn the mayo mixture and sprinkle with cotija cheese. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
- To prep the corn: Cut the corn off the cob. I used 6 ears to get about 4 1/2 cups. Alternatively, you can also use canned corn or frozen corn. If using frozen, you do not need to thaw it out.
- Sauté corn: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the corn, and stirring frequently, sauté for 5-7 minutes until it starts to char. If you are using frozen corn, you might need to cook a few minutes longer. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Make the sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, chile powder, and lime juice in a bowl.
- Assemble: Add in the mayo mixture into the sauteed corn. Give it a mix. Stir in the cotija cheese and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve in small bowls with wedges of lime on the side.

MEXICAN CORN ON THE COB (ELOTE)
My Mexican friend gave me this recipe for corn on the cob. Street vendors there sell their corn made this way. Cotija cheese can be found in most grocery stores.

MEXICAN FRIED CORN
When I was growing up, my mother used to serve fried corn for breakfast with scrambled eggs and tortillas. Here in Arizona, corn is widely used in many dishes. This is a great way to use it- my husband and I both enjoy it. -Sylvia Kessick, Dewey, Arizona
