Since corn is in season right now, I thought this would be a perfect time to share our favorite way to eat it. This is the best corn on the cob I have ever had. Beau calls it “Nacho Libre” corn because it looks like the yummy corn from the movie. This is another great recipe from Cory and Kristen!
Ingredients
- Corn
Instructions
- Grill the corn until all sides get a little brown.
- Brush the corn generously with a half mayo half sour cream mixture.
- Roll in cotija cheese - kind of a mexican feta, you can sub for feta if you want.
- Season with chili powder.
- Then squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.

Ems– we made this tonight! Oh my gosh, you weren’t kidding! This is probably my favorite corn on the cob now too! I can’t wait to go buy more corn on the cob so we can make more!
Thanks for posting this! It is totally a new favorite!
Looks gross–but the taste is heavenly!!!
First time we had this was 5 years ago in New York City at Cafe Habana. It still is a religious experience for me.
A few months ago the Food Network did a show about the 'best food on a stick' and this corn from Cafe Habana was one of the top recommendations.
Thanks for posting this! My husband and i absolutely love it and make it on a weekly basis now!!!
Do you have to boil the corn first?
Nope, you just cook it on the grill.
Nice idea. I will try as soon as i get the freshest corn. I am from Puerto Rico and here since we dont produce corn, we have to buy it in a place like Costco or Sams, since the supermaket grade are not the best. Anyways we do it at the grill and then we brush mayo, then rub it with parmesan grated cheese and finish it up with paprika. Beleive me is irresistible!
Forgot to ad some fresh bacon crisps!
Seriously? Chili powder? No, wrong. Cayenne powder or powder of chile pequin.
