Best Corn On The Cob With Cheese And Lime Recipes
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.

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB WITH CHILI-LIME BUTTER AND COTIJA CHEESE

GRILLED CORN WITH CHEESE, LIME AND CHILE (ELOTES)
Whole ears of corn are a classic street food in Mexico, where they are either grilled or boiled, then often dressed with some combination of lime, chile, mayonnaise and grated cheese. This grilled version calls for all of the above, which get mixed together into a creamy, bracing topping, and slathered all over the hot, sweet ears. It's not strictly traditional, but it does make it easier to assemble the corn and its dressing before serving. Or place the various topping in small bowls and let guests have the fun of garnishing their own. And if you don't have a grill, the broiler works too though watch the ears carefully so they don't burn.

CORN ON THE COB WITH CHEESE AND LIME
Like Mexico's better-known culinary exports-guacamole, tacos, and tequila-Mexican-style corn (elote) is finding its place in restaurants, street carts, and home kitchens across North America. Given how available the ingredients are and how quickly it can be prepared, it's no wonder that it's a new favorite. Grilling lends an earthiness to the corn, but if grilling is not an option, boil it instead. It's worth seeking out cotija, a Mexican cow's-milk cheese, but in a pinch, Parmesan or feta will do.

Steps:
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Plunge in the corn cobs and cook for 5 mins until slightly tender, then drain. Can be done a day ahead - put the corn in a roasting tin, cover and chill until needed.
- Season the corn, put on a hot barbecue and cook for 5 mins, turning regularly until it begins to blister and some of the kernels have popped and charred in places. Alternatively, heat a griddle pan over a high heat and griddle the corn for 4-5 mins each side for a similar effect.
- Brush on all sides with the melted butter, then scatter over the Parmesan and some black pepper.
