Liven up corn with this delicious mexican recipe, made with cojita or feta cheese, chilli salt, coriander and lime.
Traditional Mexican Corn on the Cob is of course served with cotija cheese but it’s not easy to get your hands on it in the UK. However feta makes a great substitution. The chilli salt gives the corn just a little kick of heat, without being overpowering. But feel free to alter the amount of cayenne and chilli you use depending on your or your family’s tastes
My favourite way to serve this corn is as a side dish to a big steaming bowl of chilli. But it would make a fantastic lunch all on it’s own too. Enjoy!
