Recipe Tips
- How to Grill the Corn
Remove husks and silk from the ears of corn. Heat outdoor grill (or grill pan for indoor cooking) on medium-high heat. Place corn ears on the grill grate; cook 10 min. or until corn is evenly grill marked and kernels are tender, turning occasionally. Cool completely before cutting the kernels off the corn ears. You should get about 1 cup corn kernels from both ears of corn. - Make it Easy
Substitute 1 cup thawed frozen street corn for the roasted fresh corn kernels. - Variations
Prepare recipe as directed, using one or more of the following substitutions: smoked paprika for the taco seasoning mix; and/or crumbled queso blanco, crumbled feta cheese or shredded Parmesan cheese for the Cotija cheese.
