How to make Traeger Grilled Mexican Street Corn Recipe

I brushed some gorgeous sweet corn on the cob with olive oil and sprinkled lightly with kosher salt and pepper.

Then set my Traeger to 350 degrees.

The corn took about 25 minutes total, and I rotated them about a quarter at a time several times.

If you want more a char for your corn you can grill them on high for 10 to 15 minutes.

If you want just corn on the cob you can stop right here, but for Traeger Grilled Mexican Street Corn add a bit more yumminess.

Brush the corn with a mixture of sour cream, mayo, garlic, chili powder, and ground red pepper on all sides.

I find that letting the corn cool slightly helps maximize the amount that this mixture will stick and not melt away.

Then sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese, cilantro, and more chili powder.

Serve with lime wedges on the side and squeeze them right over top.
