I was introduced to street corn at an office bbq once and have been making it for get togethers since then. It is a simple side dish that will add flavor and color to any taco night or summer bbq. The flavors are mild unless you decide to use a hotter variety of paprika or chili powder. Cotija has a consistency and flavor similar to parmesan. Plus you can adjust this easily to your party size.
