What is Mexican Street Corn?
Mexican street corn is typically brushed with mayonnaise or sour cream aka crema and then the corn gets seasoned with seasoning and cotija cheese. Aldis did not have any cotija cheese so good old queso fresco was the only other option. Mexican street corn is usually grilled but it can be perfectly made in your air fryer. After your corn is done cooking in the air fryer take it out and brush the spread right away on the corn so it melts into the corn.
Healthy Air Fryer Corn on the Cob
To make this dish more Weight Watcher friendly I used nonfat Greek Yogurt instead of the crema and reduced-fat or light mayonnaise. The corn, garlic, lemon juice, Greek Yogurt, and cilantro are all zero points. Just have to count points for the mayo and queso fresco. Queso fresco is a crumbly cheese that you can sub for cotija if you can’t find cotija. I cut a chunk of the queso fresco off and crumbled it with my fingers and sprinkled it over the top of the corn. The mayo and Greek yogurt is the glue that makes the cheese stick. If you are looking for simple zero-point corn on the cob recipe season your corn on the cob with salt and pepper and spritz with oil spray. I like to use I Can’t Believe It’s not Butter spray for a more butter flavor taste.
