Grilled Mexican Street Corn (Elotes)
Grilled Mexican Street Corn – Flavour
Between the juicy sweet corn niblets and creamy slightly spicy kick to your tastebuds, you will have a new favourite grilled side dish with Grilled Mexican Street Corn. The mix of cheese to the lime citrus and cilantro herb gives a perfect blend of salt, sweet and heat reminiscent of a fresh summer experience. Try not to eat the creamy mixture straight from the bowl.
*For the purpose of my smaller kids, I held back on the cayenne pepper to avoid being too spicy. A little goes a long way but for those wanting a more heat, sprinkle cayenne pepper on the top.
Try this Grilled Mexican Street Corn for Cinco de Mayo or your next backyard barbecue and you’ll have a delicious side dish to go with your favourite meat.

If you would like the creamed mixture spicier, add 1 tsp of cayenne pepper instead of 1/4 tsp. I found 1/4 tsp to be enough for everyone to enjoy; you could sprinkle a small amount of cayenne pepper on top for individuals who enjoy hotter spice as well.
