Just had this. Great flavor combo. I altered the construction in that I layered the mayo then cheese and lastly hot sauce (instead of ground red pepper) on top of the seasoned corn. Didn't miss the butter. Also made this flavor combo using stove top cooked corn on the cob rolling the cob in mayo (just enough sticks) then sprinkle on the cheese and sauce.

I made this recipe for a friends Mexican pot-luck night and it was great. I could not find Cotija cheese so I used grated Minas cheese instead and it worked perfectly.
Good corn recipe very easy. Only problem that I had was that the cheese melted and clumped together so it did not lend too much flavor. Next time I will just pass the cheese around for everyone to top their corn with and I will cut back just a tad on the lime juice I did use the full 2 tablespoons next time I'll try 1 1/2 tablespoons. I added about 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro as well because I love cilantro. I served this with grilled steaks the liquid from the corn ran onto the steaks and my wife loved the combination of the sauce and the steak.
This is sooooo good I made it two nights in a row! I used frozen corn (personal preference) however this recipe only served 3. Loved the lime juice. Will make again and again.
YUM. This was so delicious. It was perfect with the cilantro lime rice I served as another side. I used a generous pinch of cayenne pepper and I could have used 2 and it would have been more to my liking. Overall a wonderful light refreshing dish and so different from the traditional Tex-mex sides I am used to. I'll definitely be fixing this again! I can't wait to try this with grilled corn next. Thanks for a wonderful dish.
Love it. It's easy to make and very satisfying. I'm going to try it with fresh corn.
This is a great version but its even better with fresh grilled corn (works with steamed corn as well). I grew up spending many summers in Mexico as a kid and this was a great treat. I used corn on the cob butter mayo parmesan cheese bottled hot sauce (tapatio or amor) and 1/2 a lime. try it this way its so good!
I did not care for this recipe. I used grated parmesan instead of cotija. A different cheese wouldn't have saved this recipe.
This recipe is true to the real Mexican street vendor style. I grew up in Los Angeles where Mexican food is no stranger. From tamales chicharones and corn these vendors are out on the daily (and sometimes nightly) basis. I strongly recommend using cotija cheese and if you're lucky enough to have it authentic Mexican cheese. If you can't get either then try something like crumbled Feta cheese. It's salty enough to mimic cotija cheese. I used Feta all the time when I lived overseas and couldn't get cotija. Corn on the cob whether grilled or boiled tastes the best; but when there are no other options canned or frozen corn will do.
