Prep Time:  15 minutes

 

Cook Time:  15 minutes

 

Total Time:  30 minutes

 

Yield:  4 servings

 

 

Ingredients:

 

4 ears of corn, already shucked and cleaned.

1 – 8 oz. bag of Cotija Cheese

1 bag of Chile Lime Chicharrónes or Spicy Pork Rinds

Chopped Cilantro

1 Lime, sliced in quarters

2 Tbsp. Dukes Mayo or any Mayonnaise

1 Tbsp. Tajín or Chile Lime Seasoning

 

 

Process: 

 

Step 1:  Light a small charcoal fire on your grill or BBQ pit.  Gas grills work fine as well! 

 

Step 2:  Fill a Quart-sized Ziploc bag with Chicharrónes.  Seal bag, and crush them until they are small crumbs.  Dump that out onto a plate and combine with equal parts Cotija Cheese.

 

Step 3:  Place corn directly over charcoal, turning frequently just so they get a nice char on them but not completely burned.

 

Step 4:  Pull corn off grill and allow to cool down for a few minutes, then rub a light coating of mayonnaise on each one and sprinkle some Chile Lime Seasoning on each.  Then roll the corn in the Chicharrónes & Cotija mixture.

 

Step 5:  Plate and top chopped cilantro and a lime wedge.  Note:  Squeeze lime on top before eating and enjoy!
