Ingredient List:
- Corn Cobs, 4
- The Bearded Butcher Rebel Red Hot Sauce, 1/4 Cup
- The Bearded Butcher Hot Seasoning Blend, 2 tsp
- Fresh Chopped Cilantro, 1 Bunch
- Fresh Lime, 1/2 Cut into Wedges for Garnish, and 1/2 for Fresh Lime Juice
- Parmesan Cheese, 1/2 Cup
- Mayonnaise, 1/2 Cup
- Sour Cream, 1/2 Cup
- Jalapeño Coins, for Garnish
Instructions:
How to Make the Sauce:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream. Add half of the freshly chopped cilantro, the juice from half a lime, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Note: The other half of these ingredients will be used as garnish.
- Next, stir in half of The Rebel Red Hot Sauce and the 1 teaspoon of The Bearded Butcher Hot seasoning.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and smooth. Your Mexican street corn sauce is now complete!
How to Roast the Corn:
- Prepare your heat source: If using an open fire, ensure you have a medium-low flame. If using a grill, preheat it to medium heat. The key is to avoid a high flame, which can burn the corn quickly.
- Roast the corn: Place the corn cobs directly over the medium-low flame or on the grill. Rotate the corn cobs every minute or so to ensure even cooking on all sides. You're looking for the kernels to turn a vibrant yellow with slight golden-brown char marks.
- Cook until tender and golden: This process should take no more than 10 minutes. The corn should be tender but still have a slight bite.
We roasted the corn over our Breeo Smokeless Fire Pit, which gave it a great char and just the right amount of smoky flavor — a simple step that really elevates the final result.
While boiling or steaming corn can work, roasting or grilling it over an open flame will truly maximize its flavor, giving it a delightful golden-brown color and a smoky depth that can't be beaten.
How to Assemble the Mexican Street Corn:
- Once your corn is roasted and your sauce is ready, it's time to bring it all together! Generously spread the prepared Mexican street corn sauce over each roasted corn cob.
- Then, garnish with the remaining fresh cilantro, Parmesan cheese, and a drizzle of the reserved Rebel Red Hot Sauce for an extra kick of flavor and color.
Another way to enjoy is to simply slice the roasted corn kernels off the cob and mix them directly with the prepared street corn sauce. Now, you've got a fresh, vibrant, and incredibly flavorful dip, perfect for any summertime gathering. To elevate this dip, garnish it with the reserved ingredients – the remaining fresh cilantro, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, fresh lime wedges, and a final drizzle of The Bearded Butcher Rebel Red Hot Sauce.
- Allow the roasted corn cobs to cool slightly so they are easier to handle.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the corn kernels off the cobs into a large mixing bowl. Stand the cob upright on its flat end and cut downwards, rotating the cob as you go.
- Add the entire batch of your prepared Mexican Street Corn Sauce. Mix thoroughly until all the corn kernels are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
For a fantastic twist, turn your flavorful Mexican Street Corn Dip into irresistible nachos! Simply spoon a generous amount of the prepared dip over crispy tortilla chips. Then, garnish with the remaining fresh cilantro and Parmesan cheese, add fresh lime wedges off to the side, and for an extra spicy kick, scatter jalapeño coins atop the nachos.
Whether you serve it on the cob for a classic presentation or transform it into a vibrant, shareable dip or nacho topping, this Bearded Butcher Style Mexican Street Corn promises to be the highlight of your summer menu. Its irresistible blend of spicy, creamy, and fresh flavors, elevated by the unique kick of The Bearded Butcher Rebel Red Hot Sauce, makes it a truly decadent and unforgettable dish. Don't let summer slip away without experiencing this exceptional take on a beloved classic!
