Nothing says summer like corn on the cob. Cooking corn in the summer, is an entirely different subject.
We love corn on the cob in our house and we eat a lot of it. I love that grilling corn is easy to do and I don’t have to heat my house up. The char from the grill adds a nice flavor to the corn. You can grill it in the husk and use the husk as a handle, but I found that it is just a little (very little) cleaner when we use corn on the cob holders.
This version of corn on the cob is very tasty. It is based on Mexican Street corn or elote. It is a delicious combination of flavors and spices.
If you are looking for a way to try different flavors, I would encourage you to try this recipe.
You will never go back to plain corn on the cob.
