4 Minute Street Corn
Fast, fresh, and delicious! A must try!
Ingredients
- 4 Fresh ears of corn
- Butter
- La Chona Cotija Mexican Style Grated Cheese
- Chili powder
- Fresh cilantro
- Fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Microwave 2 ears of corn at a time for 3 minutes (with husks still on).
- Remove all husks and silk from the corn to make sure both ears are clean. Be careful, it will be hot!
- Rub each ear of corn with butter, as much as you desire. Be sure to coat it all the way around.
- Immediately sprinkle on the cotija cheese, as much as you desire. I add a lot, all the way around.
- Shake chili powder on top of the corn, as much as you prefer.
- Top with fresh cilantro (chop if you prefer smaller pieces).
- If you prefer, squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice on top.
- Enjoy!
Notes
I prefer butter on my corn (simple and fast) but some people use a thin layer of mayo or sour cream instead for even more flavor.
I use the chili powder sparingly but if you like extra kick, use more!
I don't use the lime juice, but my husband does. Try it and see which way you like best!
