This is my take on grilled Mexican corn. Normally, you season the corn-on-the-cob with cayenne pepper, but I prefer something with a little more flavor (but still have some heat). Steven Raichlen’s rub is the perfect mix for this Fire-Eater Mexican corn (and wings, and steak, and just about everything you make!). The rub adds just the right amount of spiciness.
This Fire-Eater Mexican corn could easily wind up being my favorite way to cook fresh corn-on-the-cob. Creamy butter and cheese with a nice spicy kick. Very, very good and so easy! If you don’t have Cotija cheese, substitute queso blanco or crumbled feta.
