Grilled Corn charred to perfection and flavored with a creamy, smoky, and spicy chipotle sauce. Grilled Corn with Chipotle Cream is one of the most delicious ways to eat summer corn.
The contrast between the sweet corn and spicy chipotle cream is just perfect.
How To Serve
Grilled Corn with Chipotle Cream goes wonderfully with chimichangas, fajitas, or tacos. Or serve it at your next summer cookout. If serving as part of a Mexican meal, you could sprinkle some queso fresco or cotija cheese on the corn for more deliciousness. Then it would be perfect for Cinco de Mayo.
Chipotle Cream Sauce
The chipolte cream is a cinch to make. It’s just a mixture of mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, a little milk, chipotle peppers plus some adobo sauce from the Chipotle Peppers
. You can change the ratio of mayonnaise to sour cream or use all mayo or all sour cream. Any way you do it, it’s going to turn out delicious.
How To Grill Corn
There are many different methods for grilling corn. You can either completely shuck the corn which is what I typically do, or partailly shuck the corn (remove the silks). If leaving the husks on, be sure to soak in water for 30 minutes before grilling so they don’t catch in fire.
Make It Spicier
The chipotle peppers add some smoky heat. If you want it spicier, either serve with your favorite hot sauce or sprinkle with a little cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
