California Street Corn

It’s fresh corn season in California!
Can I get a woot woot?!
We buy corn by the truckload at our house and will have it for dinner at least three times a week. We started preparing it “street style” after seeing a similar version on vacation last year. We changed it up making the mayo layer a bit spicy by adding jalapeno and chile powder to the mixture and boy, does that add a ton of flavor!
Yay, a prolific corn harvest means a summer full of beautiful ears to grill!
I grew these beauties in my CA Grown Garden. They are soooo hot…I’m so proud!
Chop 1-2 jalapenos into a small dice
Add the jalapenos into a bowl with the mayo, sour cream, chile powder and lime.
Stir to combine and chill until ready to use
Grill the shucked corn and cut in half
Slather the corn with the jalapeno chile mayo
Sprinkle a layer of chopped cilantro
Roll in a bowl of grated cotija cheese
Serve immediately and enjoy!
This just might be your new favorite this Summer! Dig in!!
