Butter, mayo, sour creme, crema, cotiga cheese, chili powder, paprika, fresh lime etc.

Thanks in advance.

Start with good corn. The local FFA bought out a small farm a couple of years back and is continuing to sell some outstanding yellow sweet corn. All I do is husk it, throw it on the grill right over the coals, wait for a bit of a char to develop, and rotate for 4 sides. A little butter is all we put on it, but I gotta admit that I may start tinkering with some flavored butter.

I sauté some veggies like onions and peppers when those are about done I add some bbq’ed and fillet sweet corn to it and mix it up as I sear it.
It’s better with a sear as far as I’m concerned.

Jeff, IMO you already have the best recipe for Mexican street corn. I use a version from Kenji Lopez and it's the same as yours, except for the crema. I add a little garlic.
My family thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread.
I love it too - as a treat. But it's hard to beat plain ole grilled corn with lots of butter and salt.

The wings look great.

Mayo, roll in cojita or parm, red pepper flakes.

That’s not corn!

But seriously, around here Tajin spice blend seems to be the latest thing.

Andy! How do you fillet corn?

I've been using it lately to make a 'Dead Man's Handle' - which would probably be a great cocktail to have with Mexican Street Corn.

Now, I'm depressed at my laziness skills. I LOVE corn but have limited time and motivation, often. Tonight, it was some local sweet corn in the microwave with butter and this:



For a late and quick dinner for two we enjoyed it quite nicely but I do sometimes yearn for your level of motivation

This is like the cross-breeding of a margarita, a Mai Tai, and an Aperol Spritz? I think I need to make a five gallon bucket of it! Thank God I keep good orgeat syrup on hand!
