Street Corn Rice

 I found a new love for Mexican Street Corn when we went to the flea market last year. So naturally, whenever I come across a street corn recipe...I must try it! 

I came across this recipe on YouTube from 'Views on the Road' and had to make it my own. With a few adjustments, this rice came out better than expected!

Ingredients

1 C rice

1 Tbsp butter

1/2 Tbsp oil

1 C chicken broth or water

6 Tbsp heavy cream

1/2 Tbsp chicken bouillon

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 C corn

1-2 Tbsp lime juice

1/4 C mayonnaise

3 Tbsp cotija

Cilantro

Tapatio or hot sauce of your choice

Tajin, optional

In a pot over medium high heat, add the oil and butter until melted. Add the rice and cook until browned.

In a separate bowl combine the broth, heavy cream, chicken bouillon, chili powder, garlic powder, corn and lime juice. Pour over the browned rice and stir.

Bring to a boil, turn heat to low and cover. Cook 20 minutes covered, turn off heat and let sit 5-10 minutes.

Remove lid and fluff the rice.

Add the mayonnaise, cotija, cilantro and tapatio. Gently stir to combine and serve topped with more cotija, tapatio and tajin.

*adjust the chili powder to your liking and lime juice to your liking. I personally like more chili powder in mine
