This is super simple to customize the spiciness of. Want it a little more spicy and tangy? Add more of the Tajin Seasoning. Everybody likes it different – set the seasoning out on the table so those who want more can add all they want to their serving!
I am a relatively new fan of the Tajin Seasoning but now I want it on everything!

I’m a light char on my corn but char away to your liking.
There is no wrong way here!

This is the perfect side dish for my Lime Grilled Shrimp with Creamy Dipping Sauce. Make a double batch of the dressing for this salad and your dipping sauce for the shrimp is done!
Mexican Street Corn Salad
Ingredients
- 12 ears of fresh sweet corn
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions
- Shuck and wash the sweet corn, grill on medium-high heat until corn is slightly charred and cooked, about 10-12 minutes. Allow corn to cool and cut off the cob - I used 12 ears of corn and yielded approximately 6 cups of corn.
- In a large bowl combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, Tajin Seasoning and cilantro- stir to mix into a dressing
- Add your corn and cotija cheese to the large bowl with the dressing and toss to coat all the corn with the dressing and mix in the cheese.
- Serve! Can serve immediately at room temperature, can serve cold from the refrigerator or you can reheat in the microwave for a warm side-dish.
