Air Fryer Mexican Street Corn

This street corn recipe is crazy simple. The air fryer does a fantastic job at getting the corn cooked. 

 

What I love about this recipe is no boiling water and dealing with that mess on the stove. 

 

What Cheese to Use For Air Fryer Corn On The Cob – Street Corn Version 

Cotija cheese is the ultimate cheese to use. Crumbly and the perfect pairing for the creamy base you smother onto the ears of corn. 

What If I Can’t Find Cotija Cheese

If you can’t find this cheese you can reach for feta cheese. It will be similar but of course larger the flavor slightly. 

 

The other option you have is to do a Parmesan cheese that will provide a nice tang. I recommend only using one of these two cheese varieties if you can’t find Cotija at your local store. 

 

Cotija can be hard to find at times.

 

How to Serve Corn On Cob Air Fryer 

Serve this corn as an appetizer or side dish. Great for summer cookouts, weeknight dinners, or a fun appetizer for Sunday night game night. 

 

Can I Take Corn Off The Cob

If you prefer to eat corn on the cob off the cob go right ahead. 

 

Cook your corn accordingly in the air fryer. Then remove kernels from the cobs and place in a bowl. 

Mix with the sauce, toss in cheese and cilantro and mix it up. Then eat like a salad. It will have the same taste just a different method to eating it!
