How to Make Sensational Mexican Street Corn at Home

By Stacey Freeman 14 Comments

How to Make Sensational Mexican Street Corn at HomeCinco de Mayo is just over a week away! I’m in full planning mode, as it’s one of my favorite holidays to celebrate since moving to Arizona. Unfortunately, I won’t actually be in town this year because I’ll be flying to London for work. So we’re celebrating early at my house. We are going to make these micheladas and elotes, which is grilled Mexican street corn, to serve alongside other great Mexican fare.

How to Make Sensational Mexican Street Corn at HomeIf you haven’t had Mexican street corn before, you’re missing out! My husband first introduced me to it after he tried the authentic kind on a trip to Mexico. Lucky for me, he’s pretty handy with the grill. He whipped this up for us in hardly any time. Mexican street corn is a great side dish to accompany almost any summer meal. It works perfectly as a side with grilled meats, or you can cut it off the cob and add it to salsa or top your protein with it.

How to Make Sensational Mexican Street Corn at HomeThis Mexican street corn recipe is super simple to make. All you need is mayonnaise, sour cream, cotija cheese, chili powder, garlic, cilantro, lime, and corn. Mixing the ingredients together, you make a rub to generously smother the corn once it’s grilled. For this recipe, we didn’t skimp on the ingredients. We used Shamrock Farms sour cream, which is the best because it starts with the best milk that has no added growth hormones. Also, it is rigorously tested for purity and is cold packaged and shipped so it arrives fresh. The sour cream is ultra creamy and comes in four flavors: original, creamy ranch, french onion, and zesty jalapeno. For this recipe, we opted to use original, but jalapeno would be great too, for an added kick. Shamrock Farms sour cream is so versatile and works great for dipping, topping or mixing.

Another key ingredient in this recipe is the cotija cheese. Nearly all grocery stores in Arizona carry this Mexican cheese, but if you can’t find it where you live, you can definitely use feta. The goal is to use a salty cheese, which goes perfectly with the creamy sour cream and spicy topping.

How to Make Sensational Mexican Street Corn at HomeI’m so glad my hubby decided to create this Mexican street corn for us to celebrate Cinco de Mayo early. It is SO yummy and so easy to make. If you’d like to try it for yourself, check out our recipe details below. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

    It never said what to do with lime. Squeeze into mixture, maybe?

    How do you prep the corn prior to grilling? Is the husky removed? Is the corn soaked first?

      Hi Reggie – I’m SO sorry I didn’t see this comment sooner. We removed the husk but left the stem (as a handle) and grilled it from a raw state.

    Is there a substitute for the cheese? I can’t find it in Canada

      Hi Charity – you could use feta. That’s probably the closest!

The other day, my son told me by the time he is 19 The other day, my son told me by the time he is 19, he hopes racism will be gone and that all people will be treated the same regardless of their race. I kissed his sweet face and told him I hope so too, as I held back tears.

I am scared. I am worried. I am angry.

Another unarmed Black man was senselessly murdered by a police officer. Please don’t talk about the fact that he had a warrant. Please don’t talk about the fact that he entered his vehicle. Neither of those justify the use of deadly force on an unarmed man who was not threatening the officer. Please don’t talk to me about the ‘mistake’ the officer made using a gun instead of a taser. An innocent man’s life was taken because of that officer’s haste. 
.
Our criminal justice system is broken. Officers need more training around their implicit bias toward Black and brown communities. Clearly they need de-escalation training as well. Why are cops so quick to kill Black men? 
.
I know this is uncomfortable to talk about. But we need to talk about this continual issue - I know you might feel tired of hearing about issues of race in America - but can you imagine if you actually had to live this?
