Yield: 6 servings.
Cuisine: North America, Mexican
Ingredients: 3/4 cup mayonnaise; 1/4 cup sour cream; 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1 cup crushed tortilla chips; 6 medium ears sweet corn, husks removed; Lime wedges

For my version of Mexican street corn, I roll the ears in crushed chips. For extra pizzazz, try different chip flavors like ranch dressing and jalapeno. —Crystal Schlueter, Northglenn, Colorado

Ingredients

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup crushed tortilla chips
6 medium ears sweet corn, husks removed
Lime wedges

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Refrigerate, covered, until serving. Place tortilla chips in a shallow bowl. Grill corn, covered, over medium heat 15-20 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally.
When cool enough to handle, spread corn with mayonnaise mixture; roll in chips. Grill corn, covered, 1-2 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Serve with lime wedges.

Test Kitchen Tips

This is messy (in the best way!) but can be made into a colorful, party-friendly dish with a few easy steps. Simply cut grilled corn off the cob, toss with the mayonnaise mixture, and serve in portion cups topped with crushed chips and lime wedges.

If you are sensitive to spice, omit the cayenne pepper or sub in sweet paprika.
