It’s fresh corn season in California!

Can I get a woot woot?!

We buy corn by the truckload at our house and will have it for dinner at least three times a week. We started preparing it “street style” after seeing a similar version on vacation last year. We changed it up making the mayo layer a bit spicy by adding jalapeno and chili powder to the mixture and boy, does that add a ton of flavor!  

Yay, a prolific corn harvest means a summer full of beautiful ears to grill!

I grew these beauties in my CA Grown Garden. They are soooo hot… I’m so proud!

Chop 1-2 jalapenos into a small dice

Add the jalapenos into a bowl with the mayo, sour cream, chili powder and lime. 

Stir to combine and chill until ready to use.

Grill the shucked corn and cut in half.

Slather the corn with the jalapeno chili mayo.

Sprinkle a layer of chopped cilantro.

Roll in a bowl of grated cotija cheese.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

This just might be your new favorite this summer!  Dig in!!
