I know of another way to cook corn without heating house. Cook in microwave. You wrap it up real tight with plastic wrap with husks on. Cook for a couple minutes until you see plastic wrap swelling up. surprisingly it isn't chewy. It basically steams it and it is better than the oven. Plus I have been told before that when you boil your corn DO NOT salt water! It makes your corn tuff and chewy. The salt pulls the moisture out of it. Salt it when you eat it. But each is own, try once and you will notice difference. No change in taste either. Thanks for wonderful video.

when I was in Monterrey Mexico the Street Corn Vendors mix the Hot sauce with the Mayo & Cream all together. He would paint the corn with a brush, then sprinkle Cotija all over it. Everyday he would show up, Ring a Bell he had and the kids would pour out of the houses and RUN to him! Wow I Thought he was the Ice Cream Man at first!

I like to microwave mine 4-8 mins depends on crisp or soft. I find has the best smell this way, that's enough to drive me nuts. husk on when done hold some silk as rip husk off comes off clean. sometimes I will pull the husk back before cooking and add salt and or sugar. but I like mine natural.

I am with you - I don't like boiled corn (my mom used to do it - and I didn't know what I was missing until I went to a corn roast. I have a question - why do you need parchment paper when wrapping the corn for the oven? I never used parchment and would like to know the benefit (new at this)

I love to mix together my ingredients too I've done this since I was little I would always ask my mom to mix my taco meat with my beans and toppings so every bite was evenly distributed idk maybe my small mouth for a kid wasn't able to eat the taco like adults but hey it stuck and it is the best

I watched this video a few days ago, then when I went food shopping I bought nearly everything you said. I loved the awesome taste of Tajin Clasico seasoning, but instead of Parmesan cheese I bought Feta and crumbled it over the corn. Yum, it was outstanding. Thank you for this video.

What a Great way to roast corn. This looks amazing, too! All of the food you cook looks good. I've only had this made for me in restaurants. I've never attempted to make it on my own, but with your video, it's now something I will make. Maybe even tomorrow!

I like to use leftover corn (not on the cob) from a previous meal to make this. Toss in a pan and cook till slightly charred. Then mix in the mayo/crema and lime. Top with Smoked Paprika and shredded cheese. Serve with homemade tacos de barbacoa.

Hi, I m from the other side of the world, New Zealand and I would love to make this but we don t sell those sorts of spices, Mexican cream or Cojita cheese here at our local stores. Can you suggest a website to buy them from? Or alternatives?
