Skillet Mexican Street Corn Recipe You’ll Love!

Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh corn kernels (or 3 cans of corn, drained)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese (or feta cheese as a substitute)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the corn kernels and stir occasionally, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until they start to brown slightly.
3. Add the unsalted butter, salt, black pepper, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Stir well and allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and lime juice until smooth. Pour this into the skillet and stir until the corn is well coated.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the crumbled Cotija cheese over the top. Gently toss to combine some of the cheese into the corn.
6. Finish with fresh cilantro sprinkled on top and serve warm with lime wedges.
