Corn on Stick Mexico City style

You’ll need:

  • Grilled corn
  • Mayonnaise (yes, you can sub butter, but then it really wouldn’t be Mexico City Style™, and if you do, use a lot. It’s gotta make the crumbled cheese stick)
  • Crumbled up Mexican crumbling cheese (I’ve seen it in most grocery stores)
  • A smokey chili powder. I’d recommend either using Gabes home made version (link), or at least pulverizing some dry chipotles and adding that to your favorite commercial chili powder for some extra snap and smoke
  • Limes

First, put your corn on a stick. I’d think that goes without saying, but this for my brother-in-law Gabe, so I better error on the side of caution.

Next, paint that grilled ear with a thin coat of mayonnaise.

Spoon tons of the crumbled cheese onto the corn. Do this over the bowl so all of it that doesn’t stick can be reused. (Its a BBQ, who cares!)

Shake a healthy dusting of the chili powder over it

And finally, squeeze a lime over it.

There you have it, Mexico City corn on a stick. For some reason I see the kids licking it like a cheese lolly-pop and going back for more…
