  • Fresh ears of corn (husks on)

  • Mayonnaise

  • Poctli Sal de Muchos Chiles

  • Cotija cheese, crumbled

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your comal to medium-high heat. Place the corn cobs directly on the hot surface, husks on. Roast for 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the husks become fragrant and slightly browned.

  2. Once roasted, carefully remove the husks from the corn. Be aware that the corn will be hot, so use tongs or a kitchen towel for protection.

  3. Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise over each cob of corn.

  4. Now comes the fun part! Sprinkle Poctli Sal de Muchos Chiles over the mayo-coated corn. Don't be shy! The smoky, spicy, and citrusy notes of this unique blend are what truly make this dish shine.

  5. To complete this Mexican street corn masterpiece, crumble some cotija cheese over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro.

That's it! Your Comal Roasted Street Corn is ready to be devoured.

Tip: For an extra layer of smokiness, char the corn directly on the comal after removing the husks. Just be careful not to burn the kernels!

Spice It Up! Can't handle the heat? No problem! Adjust the amount of Sal de Muchos Chiles to your preference.

With its smoky charm, creamy coolness, and vibrant toppings, this Comal Roasted Street Corn is the perfect addition to any summer cookout or a delightful side dish for a weeknight meal. So fire up your comal, grab your Poctli favorites, and get ready to experience the taste of Mexican street food magic!
