Mexican street vendor corn

This is definitely not a low carb recipe...not when it's corn!

I think the authentic street vendor corn is whole ears of corn on a stick, grilled and coated with ingredients like these.

But, there are lots of recipes online for short cut ways to get a similar finished product.  I compared several of them and morphed them in to this version...

Mexican Street Corn

12 - 16 oz. frozen corn
1 T butter
2 T mayonnaise
2 T lime juice
dash cayenne pepper
1/3 cup  shredded cotija cheese (found in the grocery near refrigerated salsa and tortillas)

Melt butter in a skillet, add frozen corn and saute until corn gets slightly browned.

Turn off the burner, add everything else and stir.

That's it. You're done!   Serve warm or room temperature.

It's a good side dish for Mexican food...but it would probably go well with steaks or burgers too (maybe even barbecue?).

At supper, the Sasquatch added some inside his taco and said it's good like that too.

Many of the recipes include a sprinkle of cilantro but I have a family member who does not like cilantro and it's perfectly fine without it.
