Mexican Street Corn

I wanted to make something new for dinner last night with a Mexican theme to go with the steak we were having. My husband is quite picky when it comes to vegetables and spices. I found this recipe, I did change one thing ( used sour cream instead of mayo as I HATE mayo). We both liked it. I will be making it again when we have guests.

Mexican Street Corn
Ingredients:

2 Tbsp Corn Oil
3 cups Whole Kernel Corn; Fresh, frozen or canned
½ cup Mayonnaise
¼ tsp Chili Powder
1 Small Jalapeno Pepper, finely chopped
1 tsp Garlic Salt
Freshly Ground Pepper, to taste
Zest of 1 Lime
2 Limes, quartered
Cilantro Sprigs

Directions:

Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet and add corn. Pan roast 4-5 minutes until corn is golden and hot. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, chili powder, jalapeno and garlic salt, then stir to combine. Add to roasted corn and heat through. Top with zest and ground pepper, then serve with lime quarters and cilantro.

I personally really liked the lime and cilantro flavor mixed with the corn.

Enjoy
