If you like corn, you will love this super delicious recipe for Mexican Street Corn. It is the ultimate way to eat corn on the cob.
My favorite Mexican restaurant serves the most AMAZING Mexican Street Corn. It is one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. Seriously, ever. I order it whenever they offer it on the menu. My entire family loves the stuff.
This dish is the perfect combination of delicious corn on the cob, spices and a tangy sauce. When I first tried it, I couldn’t decide whether it was too spicy or too tangy. After a couple of bites, I decided I didn’t care! The flavors all came together to form one dynamite way to eat corn on the cob.
Since the restaurant only offers Mexican Street Corn a few times a year, I decided to put a recipe together in my own kitchen.
I’m so excited with the way this dish turned out. I look forward to making this new family favorite in the very near future.
Mexican Street Corn Recipe
- 6 ears of corn
- 1 Tbsp of cajun seasoning
- 2 Tbsp. of oil
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ tsp. lime juice

When I made this in my kitchen, I used my cast iron grill pan. I think it really added to the smoky flavor of the Mexican Street Corn.
I hope your family enjoys this fun way to eat corn on the cob. Why not try it at your next barbecue?
Have you ever tried Mexican Street Corn? I would love to hear your thoughts.
Interesting! I never heard of eating corn this way, but it sounds good….well, all but the pickle in the sauce. 🙂 My kids and hubby would like that, but I’m not a pickle fan. I’d love to try the seasoning part though. We tend to be a bit boring and just eat sweet corn with butter, salt and pepper.
Hi Lydia! This corn is one of my family’s favorites! We love pickles, so we put them in our sauce. I think it added an extra kick of flavor. You could totally make it without them. If you leave out the pickles, I would increase the lime juice. I hope you enjoy it!
My kids just made some street corn last weekend. We’ll have to try your recipe with the added dill pickle and cajun seasoning. A different twist!
We love it! The pickle really adds a great tangy flavor to the sauce. I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by.
