Creamy Mexican Street Corn Cup
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Corn 🌽🔥
- Heat a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat and melt the 3 tbsp of butter.
- Add your 4 cups of corn kernels to the pan.
- Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the corn to heat through and get a beautiful, slightly charred edge to capture that authentic street-cart flavor!
Step 2: Build the Creamy Sauce 🥣
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp of mayonnaise and ½ cup of Mexican crema (or sour cream).
- Stir in a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt to taste. Mix until smooth and tangy.
Step 3: Layer the Cups ✨🎨
To create the eye-catching presentation shown in , you can layer your treats in clear glasses or cups:
- Drop a generous spoonful of warm, buttery corn into the bottom of the cup.
- Spoon a layer of the creamy sauce right over the corn.
- Sprinkle a dusting of chili powder to create those beautiful red ribbons seen through the side of the glass in .
- Repeat the layers until the cup is filled to the top!
