Mexican street vendors serve this creamy, messy deliciousness on the cob. Creamy, tangy, and a bit spicy, it’s become a fave in our house, but corn on the cob is a very short season in my world . . .

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter or olive oil or a combination
  • 4-6 cloves garlic minced OR 2 T FD garlic
  • 1/2 cup FD chopped onion
  • 3/4 - 1 cup FD chili peppers
  • 1 Tbsp of each all of these, all mixed together flour, cumin, chili powder
  • 1 tsp of each mixed with other spices salt and pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika if you have it
  • 1/4 cup lime juice OR zest and juice of 3 limes
  • 1 cup FD shredded pepper jack refreshed
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 6-8 cups water (use 1 cup at at time as needed)

  • 1 cup or more chopped fresh cilantro
  • optional: chopped red pepper
  • optional: as garnish - toasted pumpkin seeds, crumbled feta cheese

Directions

  1. Toast onion, garlic, chili peppers and corn in butter in medium hot skillet stirring constantly to prevent burning. It’s ready when it is lightly toasted and aromatic.
  2. Add water one cup at a time to refresh. You may not add all of it now.
  3. Add the seasoning mixture in all together and stir to incorporate thoroughly. Remember the dark colours of chili powder and paprika will colour your street corn, so don’t add any more than recommended.
  4. Remove from heat and taste test.
  5. Add lime juice. Don't be afraid to add more later if desired.
  6. Add mayonnaise and sour cream powder. Mix well, adding water if needed.
  7. Spoon into serving bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro, and other garnishes you decide to use.
  8. Enjoy!
