Mexican street corn is a great summer dish and it’s easy to make at home! Top char-grilled corn on the cob with a tangy, creamy sauce, smothered with crumbled cheese and enjoy. Make this at your next backyard BBQ! I have only made this once and didn’t take a picture of my own. Photography Credit: Megan Keno

3 Grill the corn: Place the husked corn directly onto grill grates. Grill the corn for about 3 minutes, undisturbed, or until kernels begin to turn golden brown and look charred. Turn over and repeat. When all sides are browned, remove from the grill onto a plate.
