Corn Ribs are a fun and flavorful twist on traditional corn on the cob, grilled to perfection and topped with a creamy elote sauce, Cotija cheese, and fresh cilantro.

Ingredients

4 ears sweet corn, husks and silk removed

2 tbsp. vegetable oil

1 tbsp. chili powder

½ tsp. salt

Elote Sauce:

¼ cup real mayo

¼ cup sour cream

3 tbsp. adobo sauce

1 tbsp. lime juice

Dash of salt

Corn Rib Topping:

½ cup Cotija cheese, crumbled

Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Slice each ear of corn into 4 quarters. To do this, stand the corn on its end and use a sharp knife to cut through the cob into 4 even sections.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the vegetable oil, chili powder, and salt. Brush the mixture evenly over all sides of the corn ribs.
  4. Place the corn ribs on the grill, turning them occasionally, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the corn is tender and has a nice char.
  5. While the corn is grilling, prepare the elote sauce by combining the mayo, sour cream, adobo sauce, lime juice, and a dash of salt in a bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  6. Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and drizzle the elote sauce generously over the corn ribs.
  7. Top with crumbled Cotija cheese and fresh cilantro.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

If you prefer a spicier version, add hot sauce or chili flakes to the elote sauce.

For a smoky flavor, grill the corn over direct flames for a few minutes before finishing on the grill.

If you can’t find Cotija cheese, substitute with Feta or Parmesan cheese.

You can use a grill pan indoors if you’re not able to grill outside.

Prepare the elote sauce and seasoning ahead of time, and pre-slice the corn for convenience.
