Flaming Hot Cheetos Street Corn

Flamin Hot Cheetos Street Corn

Oh, this genius child of mine đŸ™‚ She comes up with some good recipes… Flamin Hot Cheetos Street Corn is what we made thanks to her idea!

A typical day around here usually involves watching Food Network, and one of our most loved shows is Diners. Drive Ins, and Dives.

This episode Guy was tasting some sort of street corn that had bright red spices on the outside and my daughter said

“Oh…you could coat corn with Flamin Hot Cheetos to make something similar to that!”.

We love traditional Mexican Street Corn, and have even made Mexican Street Corn Soup.

This fun spin on a classic was amazing!

Here is how to make Flamin Hot Cheetos Street Corn

We shucked six ears of corn and made the sauce to brush over top.

The sauce is mayo, sour cream, chili powder, and garlic powder.

Then added two cups of Flamin Hot Cheetos to the food processor.

Pulse until you have Flamin Hot Cheetos crumbs.

Next up is brushing the corn with olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper and grill for 10 minutes.

I set our grill between medium and medium high heat.

Turn it a few times as it cooks.

I absolutely LOVE the charred parts so I move the corn around to the hottest spots to get that gorgeous char!

Then let the corn cool for a few minutes and brush the mayo/sour cream mixture on all sides.

Now comes the star of this side dish…the Flamin Hot Cheetos!

I put the crumbs in a shallow dish that the corn would fit in.

Roll it around in the crumbs and BOOM…ready to serve!

My other daughter’s boyfriend happened to be eating dinner with us this evening.

I explained to him how we don’t judge around here when eating Flamin Hot Cheetos Street Corn đŸ˜‰

It’s fun and delicious, but boy is it messy!

SO totally worth having to use an extra napkin đŸ™‚

We are for sure having this one again very soon!
