Diavola Mexican Street Corn
Diavola Spice Rub on grilled corn, mixed with lime juice, feta cheese, mixed Mexican cheese and diced peppers.
Ingredients
- 8 ears corn
- 4 tbsp. olive oil (divided) use half for brushing ears of corn before dusting with the spice rub and the other half for sautéing the onions and peppers
- 2 tsp. Treks & Bites Diavola Spice Blend
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp. Diavola Spice Rub
- 1 whole poblano or jalapeño pepper finely diced
- 2 whole limes use zest and juice
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta or Cotija cheese
- 1/2 cup mixed Mexican cheese
- 1/4 cup minced cilantro
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt to taste
Garnishes
- 1/2 cup feta leaves
- 1 large lime, but into wedges
- 1/2 cup feta, crumbles
- 8 cherry tomatoes halved
Instructions
- Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350.
- Preheat the grill to medium. Brush the ears of with canola oil and dust on all sides with Cajun or Diavola spice. Place on upper rack of the barbecue and grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the corn is cooked and nicely browned. Remove from grill and cool enough to handle. Cut the corn off the cob and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet. Cook onions until translucent and beginning to brown. Add garlic, jalapeño and Cajun spice. Continue to cook until pepper softens. Add grilled corn, lime zest, lime juice, both cheeses and cilantro. Toss well and season with salt and pepper. (You can also prepare the street corn to this point and refrigerate in an air-tight container until ready to heat and serve.)
- Turn mixture out into the prepared baking dish. Bake for about 25 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and street corn is heated through.
- Garnish with cherry tomatoes, extra feta, freshly diced peppers and cilantro sprigs.
Notes
Diavola grilled corn is also delicious all by itself! If you feel like making extra corn, you can have grilled corn on the cob one night, and make enough to save for street corn on another night that week!
