Grilled Mexican Street Corn

I can’t believe it’s Labor Day Weekend already! Where did the summer go? I swear time just keeps going faster the older I get.

Well I don’t know about you, but I plan on doing a lot of grilling this weekend and Mexican Street Corn is definitely on the menu!

I’ve made different versions of this like my Mexican Street Corn Cups also called Esquites, and of course my Mexican Street Corn Salad which are all just as good. But this weekend I’m just going with the basic Grilled Mexican Street Corn for one of my side dishes.

All you need to do for this is remove the husk from the Corn and grill over high heat, I grilled it at about 400F. Then keep an eye on it and keep turning every so often. 

I like a nice char on my corn, so it took about 8-10 minutes of grilling to achieve this.

It’s nice because you can grill this along side whatever meat you are cooking to go with this. If you have a smaller grill you can always make the corn first, put it on a platter and cover it with foil so it stays warm while you cook your meat too.

Then in a small bowl mix together Mayo, Tajin, and Cilantro. Taste and add more Tajin to your liking. I’ve had a few people asking where they can get Tajin. I found this in the spice aisle, but you can also get it on Amazon.

Add Cotija Cheese crumbles to a shallow dish big enough to fit the corn in. Spread Mayo mix onto the cooked Corn, then roll the Corn into the Cotija. Now proceed to chow down on all this deliciousness!

Looking for ideas on what to grill with this? I’ve got you covered with some recipes below:
