Grilled Mexican Street Corn on the Cob

Grilled Mexican Street Corn on the Cob

Ingredients

  • 8 ears corn in the husk
  • 1/2 cup Land O'Lakes® Soft Squeeze Spread plus additional for serving
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 1 pinch cayenne (optional)
  • 1 lime
  • 1/2 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro rough, chopped

Instructions

  1. Soak the corn in a sink of cold water for an hour before grilling. Drain.
  2. Heat grill to medium high, around 400ºF. Place the corn in the husk directly onto the grill. Cook for about 20 minutes, turning every few minutes to brown all sides.
  3. While the corn is cooking, in a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup of the squeeze spread, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne until well combined. Set aside.
  4. When the corn is done, remove it from the grill. Let it cool slightly. Peel back the husks and pull away the silks. Reduce grill heat or turn it off.
  5. Spread the spiced butter spread mixture onto all sides of the corn. Place the corn directly on the grill for 3 - 5 minutes, turning to heat it through and melt the spread.
  6. Arrange the corn on a platter. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top. Sprinkle with the cotija cheese crumbles and the cilantro. Finish with additional squeeze spread and serve immediately.

Notes

Home Chef Tip: Not a fan of cotija cheese? Use feta instead!
