Mexican Grilled Corn on the Cob

Corn on the cob is a staple in my family over the summer. Living in the Midwest, we do have some of the best corn around (if you ask me). Because of it, I am always looking for great ways to maximize the use of corn, so I introduced the Mexican Grilled Corn recipe this past year. Big hit. I hope you and your family enjoy! If you liked this recipe be sure to check out my BBQ Butter Corn recipe also. And while we are on the subject of corn…if you really want to do it up right and impress your family, try doctoring up Butter Popcorn, Cheddar Popcorn or even White Cheddar popcorn the next time you sit down for a movie night. You will know that you simply tossed a few spices on to the buttery popcorn, but they just may think you’ve gone gourmet on them.
