How to Make Flavorful Grilled Corn for Camping

Ok I love rain but I am officially tired of this constant rain in California right now. I saw blue skies the other day for a couple hours and my body rejoiced! Now I know this is what people in other states feel all the time and I swear I love the rain and so much patience but for once in my life, I never felt so happy to see sun and then realize how spoiled I normally am.

In any case, warm sunny weather normally gives me the ability to try out campfire meals on a grill before I go camping. This recipe actually came from something I normally make and my friends said “you should do this when we are camping”. What makes me so excited about this item is there are so many variations I can mess with!

Ingredients

  • Ears of corn (however many you are doing – for this I will do 4)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup cotija cheese
  • Chili powder
  • Lime
  • Cilantro (optional)

Directions

  1. Mix mayo, chili powder, cilantro and lime in a bowl until well blended.
  1. Rub generously over each ear of corn
  1. Sprinkle with cotija cheese
  1. Top with cayenne pepper
  1. Now here you can also mix it up on how to cook – grill corn before you smother it with ingridents or after. I personally like to prepare and then throw on grill but honestly up to you
  1. If you want to mix things up even more add other butter blends, herbs and spices!
