This Mexican street corn recipe is made by flavoring hot corn on the cobs with crumbled cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, chili powder, and lime juice. This easy recipe roasts the corn in its husks instead of grilling it.
Ingredients
- 6 ears corn, unhusked
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 limes, juiced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Roast corn, in husks, directly on the oven rack in the preheated oven until tender and cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes.
Step 3
Peel down husks and rub each ear of corn with 1 tablespoon butter. Sprinkle each with cotija cheese, cilantro, lime juice, and chili powder.
Tips
You can use dried cilantro instead of fresh and cilantro juice instead of lime juice.
