Mexican Grilled Corn on the Cob

"Street vendors across Mexico sell this style of roasted or grilled corn topped with mayonnaise, chili powder and Cotija cheese. You can serve the unadorned corn on a platter with small bowls of the sauce, cheese and lime on the side so everyone can make their own. Found online on Eating Well."

  1. Delicious! Couldn't find cojito, so I went to a local Mexican restaurant and begged. Not sure if they gave me cojito or feta....but it seemed a bit creamier than feta. Loved the mayo/sour cream mix on the corn! Definitely a recipe I'll make again. Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. Enjoyed very much! I bought a super sweet corn b/c that is what store had, soaked corn a long time as we do NOT like the sugary syrup taste of super sweet corn. I also did not have Cojito but use feta instead. Thank you katzen for sharing. Made for Veggie Swap Dec. 2010.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
