Mexican Cheesy Corn
Hold on there! Don't click away just yet!!
Let me Explain!
The other summer, my sister in law Rachael went to visit her "Mexican" Angie for a beach vacation. She came back with this love of Mexican Cheesy Corn that Mexican Angie had shared with her.
So yeah........when we were at her house for dinner over the summer she decided to share this treasure with me. At first I was not so thrilled with her idea. My niece (2 years old at the time) seems to be devouring it, Racahel liked it, Mexican Angie Likes it............. but I was not thrilled at all.
But being a foodie, I thought hey.... the worst that will happen is I'll take a bite, think I'm going to die and move on.
This was not the case. It was Love at First Bite. oooo just.... well, I'm not even sure I can put this into words. I am obsessed with Mexican Cheesy Corn!
Hey its ok to indulge once in a while :)
(PS. Don't want corn in your teeth?? Slice the corn from the cob into a bowl, or use corn kernels that were frozen or canned, mix ingredients and enjoy)
Mexican Cheesy Corn
(Printable Recipe Here)
Makes 4 servings (easily double, triples or converts to singles!)
4 ears of corn
Mayonnaise (enough to spread over each corn on the cob)
Cotija Powder Cheese (I got mine at walmart)
What to do:
Boil your corn on the cob, or grill it. However you'd like to cook your corn.
If boiling (like I did), pull off and discard the husk and silk from each ear of corn.
Boil Corn for about 12 minutes in a large pot of water. When done, you will be able to pierce the kernels easily with a fork.
Once cooked, (if boiled, make sure to wipe all water from corn)..
spread about 1/2 of a tablespoon of mayonnaise over the corn on the cob. I do a light layer, but you could do more if you really really wanted to.
Once corn is covered in a spread of mayonnaise, sprinkle the Cotija Powder Cheese over the corn, rolling it and pressing it down some until the entire corn is covered in Cotija Powder Cheese .
Now enjoy!

I know my husband would love this! Any way to make vegetables more tasty is good with him!
Yummmmmm! This looks really good! Mayo on corn? Ok I'll try it. Cotija Powder cheese? Never heard of it.
I'd never heard of Cotija Powder cheese either, until my sister in law told me about this cheesy corn. I found my Cotija Powder cheese at walmart though,
Interesting. I may have to give this a try. I don't know if I can get the cheese locally though.
@btanders Where do you live? I live in VA and found it ;)
OK! You talked me into it! I've seen it lots of times this summer and was curious but now I have to give it a try! Off to find the powder...
I just clicked to print and an enchilada recipe printed. Just thought you might want to know.
Yummy, yummy, yummy. I love cotija on just about anything anything.
I have never eaten Mexican cheesy corn but this looks yummy to me! :-)
I think the mayo on this is what has kept me from trying it (I have a weird aversion to it)... might have to try it with Greek Yogurt or something!
What a neat way to serve corn on the cob.
This is definitely different, but absolutely delicious...need to try it asap!
This is definitely one of my favorite things to eat!! I love them with cayenne pepper sprinkled on them!
Looks like a great side dish to a barbeque party too! Thanks for dropping by and sharing at Beach Cottage Good Life Wednesdays.
Wow, that sounds great. Living in south Texas most of my life, i love Mexican flavors.
Funny I just discovered this recipe last week. I was a little hesitant because of the mayo. But your right, its absolutely amazingly! Also, love your blog, I'm glad I found it. :)
You can get these everywhere in Mexico. I have been craving them since seeing them on another website! YUM!!!
Cheesy Corn Goodness? YUM! This reminds me of a corn dip I make, except less work! Sounds delicious!
