Grilled Chicken with Mexican Street Corn Salad (Esquites)

Grilled Chicken with Mexican Street Corn Salad (Esquites)

By Brittanie Peterson

Total: 35 minutes
Main CourseSaladMexican

Ingredients

  • 12 oz grilled chicken breast
  • 3 pieces ears of corn
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup cotija cheese
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 1 piece lime
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush each ear of corn with olive oil.

2

Grill the corn for about 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until it's nicely charred on all sides. If using frozen corn, sauté it in a pan with a little olive oil until charred.

3

Once grilled, let the corn cool slightly, then slice the kernels off the cob. Place the kernels in a large mixing bowl.

4

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, juice of half the lime, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

5

Add the dressing to the bowl with corn and mix well to combine. Stir in the crumbled cotija cheese and chopped cilantro.

6

Slice the grilled chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.

7

Serve the chicken on a plate alongside the Mexican Street Corn Salad. Garnish with extra cilantro, cotija cheese, and lime wedges if desired.
