Mexican Street Corn

I had my first experience with Mexican street corn at a food festival here in town a couple years back, and every now and then I have flashbacks of its flavor explosion and dripping chipotle sauce as I ate it with one hand. Well, finally I decided it was time to attempt to make it myself and while it was a lot less saucy, it still packed a big bang of flavor. I made a sauce of mayo (weird yes, but such a great sauce/spread base), hot sauce and some spices, spread that on the corn, then barely heated them on the stove. Sprinkle the warm cobs with a little cheese and cilantro, serve with your favorite Mexican dish (one of ours being turkey tacos – with a little homemade salsa verde) and you’ve got yourself a Mexican fiesta of flavor!
