Calories: 102kcal
Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn shucked (white tends to be less sweet and is more often used in Mexico)
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt plain
- 1/2 cup añejo cheese or cotija cheese (Mexican cheese) or parmesan cheese, fresh and finely-grated
- 1 tablespoon chili powder ancho or Mexican chili powder if available
- 1 lime cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Add corn cobs and allow to boil uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes, until bright yellow and tender. Set oven to broil.
- Place corn cobs on a broiler-safe pan and place under broiler for 3 to 5 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Note: Alternatively, place on oiled grates of a grill over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until roasted.
- Spread ears of corn with Greek yogurt. Sprinkle each cob evenly with cheese, chili powder, juice from lime wedges, and cilantro. Enjoy!
- If you like an even spicier Mexican corn on the cob, sprinkle on a favorite hot sauce.
