mexican style corn

Updated on Aug 5, 2022

During corn on the cob season, I always cook too much - this is what I did with some left over ears. Traditionally, the corn would be grilled, but my ears were cooked on the stove, then cut off the left over cobs the next day. I used light sour cream. One could sub mayo instead of the sour cream.
