Sriracha Cheese Grilled Corn

Sriracha Cheese Grilled Corn, a delicious, quick, and easy way to spice up regular old grilled corn on the cob! 

I love Mexican street-style corn.

It’s salty, bursting with flavor, slightly sweet, and so fun to eat – the perfect summer side dish.

If you love corn on the cob, you need to try street-style grilled corn! It’s so easy and full of flavor – and makes the perfect side at a party!

This corn on the cob has a ton of spicy flavor from Sriracha and cotija – which pair perfectly with the naturally sweet corn flavor, and compliment the nice smoky flavor you get from grilling the corn in their husks.

Depending on how spicy you like your corn, you can either drizzle the sriracha directly onto the corn (for a spicier kick) or mix it in with the garlic butter for a more subtle, smoky twist.
