Mexican Street Corn Brats

Prep 15 minutes · Grill 27 minutes · Serves 4
INGREDIENTS

2 ears sweet corn, husk and silk removed

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup grated Cotija or Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper hot sauce plus additional for garnish (optional)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

INSTRUCTIONS
  • Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over high heat. Place corn on hot grill rack; cover and cook 12 minutes or until charred, turning 1/4 turn every 3 minutes. Transfer corn to cutting board to cool; reduce grill heat to medium-low. Once corn is cool, cut corn kernels from cobs.


  • In large bowl, stir red onion, cheese, cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, mayonnaise, hot sauce, garlic powder and chili powder; fold in corn. Makes about 1-1/3 cups.


  • Place brats on hot grill rack; cover and cook 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°, turning frequently. About 3 minutes before brats are done, place buns, cut side down, on hot grill rack; cover and cook 3 minutes or until grill marks appear.


  • Serve brats in buns topped with corn mixture and hot sauce, if desired.
