Grilled Avocado Street Corn: it’s going to be my summer side dish of choice! (and ps – there’s a giveaway at the end!) 
I’ve never met someone who loves street corn quite as much as my best friend Matt. The minute we were done shooting these he took all of them, added extra mayo, extra lime and extra salt (he’s my spirit animal) and devoured a few within the blink of an eye. It was basically the crowning moment of my week. I love it when my recipes hit the spot and people go to town. As a chef, there is seriously no better feeling.
This particular street corn is light-years ahead of the rest for many reasons:
1: KRAFT Avocado Oil Mayo gives you that extra avocado bonus and ya’ll know I live for an avocado moment. Plus this new variety of KRAFT Mayo delivers the delicious taste of Mayo and is made with avocado oil that contains 232 mg of Omega-3 ALA in every serving. AVOCADO GUYS!!! This is EVERYTHING. It’s better for you which means we can have more Grilled Avocado Street Corn in our lives!!
2: Bacon. It’s the right thing to do. Crisp up a piece of bacon and either crumble it or chop it into basically bacon dust and then sprinkle it on top.
3: Chives. If you’ve been a long time reader of WGC, you’re aware of my love for chives. They are the best herbs to finish a dish in my humble opinion!! With all the summer BBQ’s ahead, bookmark this recipe and then get ready for everyone to be obsessed.

All you have to do is make this life-changing summer friendly recipe, post a pic on instagram, tag @whatsgabycookin in the pic + in the caption and you’re entered to win!

Grilled Avocado Street Corn

- Vegetable oil for brushing
- 1 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper
- 8 ears of corn husks on
- 1/2 cup KRAFT Avocado Oil Mayo
- ½ cup crumbled cotija cheese
- Fresh chives super thinly sliced
- Lime wedges for serving
- Finely chopped cooked bacon for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high. Brush grill grate with oil. Carefully peel back the husks and tie at the end to use to hold the corn for later use.
- Brush the corn with vegetable oil and grill, turning occasionally with tongs, until cooked through and lightly charred, about 10 minutes. Remove from grill and immediately brush each ear with equal amounts of the Kraft Avocado Mayonnaise. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of cotija and a pinch of chile pepper, bacon and chopped chives. Squeeze 1 lime wedge over each ear and serve.

Great recipe for summer BBQ’s!
Oh my. I think this is going to be the best summer go to!!
Love corn like this!
This is the perfect addition to our summer cookouts!
I don’t eat bacon, but I thought “bacon dust” was sprinkled on the corn. It’s not in the list of ingredients. Sounds yummy either way!
This sounds AMAZING! My family loves Mexican street corn!
This sounds like a great recipe. I’m going to give this Kraft Avocado Mayo a try. Sounds really tasty.
This sounds delicious, I would use Kraft Avocado May in sandwiches.

Looks great. I would like to try the Kraft Avocado Oil Mayo in macaroni salad since macaroni salad is my favorite dish to make in the summer months.

I am not sure I would like it on my corn but would put it in salads
I would love to add it to a pasta salad for a new twist
I’ve only gotten street corn from the vendors with pushcarts tooting their horn before (we actually have one that comes by my neighborhood!). I’d love to try this on my own, maybe take it off the cob for a nice side salad for carne asada. Yum!
this corn looks delicious! I would love to try it
Looks good!
Wow, does this look amazing, or what!!?? I am dying to try this! I’ve always been a fan of corn, bur rarely do I dress it up beyond butter and salt 🙂
HOLY SMOKES. This is so good. This recipe taught me the brilliance of slathering on mayo to ears of corn. Who knew that was a thing? It is amazing. We made this all summer long for family gatherings on our patio. I love the tip about keeping the husks on to make it easy to eat. Major game changer! Go ahead and make this right away before any more time passes in your life!
