How to Make Spicy Mexican Corn Bites
- Prepare the Corn
Begin by cutting the corn into 2-inch sections. Boil the corn pieces in salted water for about 5–7 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly. - Make the Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy. - Coat the Corn
Use a brush or spoon to generously coat each corn piece with the creamy sauce, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor. - Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle the coated corn bites with freshly chopped cilantro and an extra dash of chili powder for visual appeal and added spice. For a smoky touch, you can even lightly char the corn bites in a grill pan before garnishing. - Enjoy!
Serve warm or at room temperature. These corn bites pair perfectly with a chilled margarita or your favorite dipping sauce.
