Spicy Tequila Street Corn
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup Tequila
- 2 tbsp Tequila
- 3 ears of corn, husked
- 1 cup full fat sour cream
- 1 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup tequila
- 2 Tbsp tequila
- 1 jalapeno
- ½ lime juiced
- ¼ cup cilantro, chopped, have extra for garnish
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper (or ground chipotle pepper)
- Salt to taste (smoked is even better)
Directions:
Serves 8-10
Cook Time: 10 minutes
In a small bowl, add the whole jalapeno plus 2 Tbsp tequila. Freeze.
Meanwhile, fire up the grill to medium heat. Add corn and grill, covered, for 3 minutes, undisturbed. Flip corn and repeat.
While corn grills, combine the sour cream, tequila, cilantro, chili powder, coriander, cayenne pepper and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
When the corn comes off the grill, carefully cut into 3-4 slices about 1 1/2 – 2" thick. Next, slather each slice with sour cream mixture and sprinkle with cotija, cilantro and a dash of salt. Finally, zest frozen tequila jalapeno directly over the top.
