This Healthy Mexican Street Corn recipe will definitely be a crowd pleaser. You can also char grill this outside if you are having a barbecue or if you have any event going on. Put a little twist to your basic grilled corn and make this Healthy Mexican Street Corn.

I made large batches of this recipe and i save it in the fridge for the following day. You can cut them up and add to anything i plan on cooking the next day. A few of my salad recipes call for corn, like this BARBECUE CHICKEN QUINOA BOWL  so if you have leftovers you can chop them and add to your favorite meals.

The Cotija cheese in this recipe makes it have a unique flavor. If you have children you may want to skip on the Chili powder. My kids cant handle the heat so I usually make a batch with chili powder and some without.

We love having corn in the summer and by the time summer is over it feels like we are growing corn out of our ears. Of all my kids Marc eats the most corn and his all time favorite corn recipe is this HEALTHY SUMMER CORN CHOWDER.
