There’s a local restaurant here in Miami where they serve Chipotle corn and let me tell you, the first time I tried it, I was hooked! I knew I had to recreate it at home for you. While I don’t have the exact recipe, this one is pretty darn close!

What is Mexican Street Corn?

Mexican street corn is the off-the-corn-cob version of elote. Elote is grilled sweet corn that is typically topped with mayo, cotija, and cayenne pepper. This recipe is basically deconstructed version of elote and it is SO good! Here’s how you make it.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Roasted corn kernels. I buy the frozen bag of roasted corn from Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods.
  • Mayo. For the perfect creamy texture.
  • Cayenne pepper. We love some heat!
  • Shredded mozzarella.
  • Crumbled cotija as garnish. Tangy, salty, and oh so good!
  • Crushed pork rinds as garnish.
  • Chopped chives as garnish.

Skillet

A 10-inch skillet perfect for cooking all kinds of dishes! It’s non-stick, with a wide flat bottom for frying, sautéing, or browning.

How To Make Chipotle Mexican Street Corn

  • Heat corn according to package instructions.
  • In a hot skillet, add cooked roasted corn, mayo, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine until creamy consistency over medium heat. Add shredded mozzarella and stir until melted and combined. (*see notes for alternative method)
  • Transfer to a plate. Top with cotija, pork rinds, (sprinkle of cayenne pepper, optional), and chives. Serve immediately as a side dish, appetizer, or with chips as a dip.

I mean, this is next level Mexican street corn!

Storage Tips

  • Store the street corn in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Make sure now to leave it out at room temperature more than 2 hours.
  • This street corn recipe lasts approximately 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. I do not recommend storing it in the freezer.

Make it and report back. I have a feeling you’re going to LOVE this one!
