Instructions for Crazy Corn

  • To cook the corn, you can grill it or boil it.
  • To grill, brush the ears of corn with a bit of oil. Place them over a grill or grill pan, set over medium heat, and let the corn cook and char slightly, turning every 3 minutes until all the corn is done, anywhere from 9 to 12 minutes total. Remove from the heat.
  • You can also cook the corn it in boiling water until soft and cooked, less than ten minutes.
  • Once cooked, stick the corn on corn holders or a wooden stick.
  • Choose your toppings! Traditionally in Mexico, we: spread butter, then a layer of mayonnaise, coat thoroughly with crumbled cheese, sprinkle with salt and ground chile and finally, drizzle with freshly-squeezed lime juice.
