Mexican-Style Grilled Corn with a Twist 🌽
It's corn season, and I'm thrilled with how cheap it is- only 25 cents each! There's something incredibly satisfying about buying fresh corn at such a price. 😊
If you’re in Texas, you’ve probably seen Mexican street vendors selling grilled corn from their trucks. It’s a bit like how we have popular street snacks like tteokbokki or soondae in Korea- comforting, everyday treats that everyone enjoys.🛻
Whenever I catch the scent of that smoky grilled corn while passing by, I must stop. Mexican-style corn isn't just plain grilled corn- it's packed with seasoning, mayo, and cheese, making it incredibly flavorful!
Today, I'm sharing a version I learned here in Texas, with a slight twist: I add parmesan cheese to make it extra rich and savory. Just imagine that combination, impossible not to love. 😋

👩🏻🍳 Recipe
1. Microwave the corn in its husk. The husk helps steam the corn and keeps it moist and tender.
👉 Microwave 1 corn cob for 4 minutes; add 1 minute for each extra cob.
2. While the corn is still warm, mix butter and mayonnaise together and spread them all over the corn.
3. Sprinkle paprika over the top.
👉 You can substitute with fine Korean chili powder if you like!
4. Grate parmesan cheese generously over the corn, then top with fresh chopped cilantro.
5. If you have a lemon, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the corn- it adds a wonderful tangy kick! 😋
📌 Cooking Tips
• Trim the corn silk before microwaving to keep things neat.
• Arrange the corn in a single layer in the microwave so it cooks evenly.
• Other seasoning ideas: lemon pepper or Tajin powder pair perfectly too!
And there you have it- delicious Mexican-style grilled corn! 💛🌽
