For my version of Mexican street corn, I roll the ears in crushed chips. For extra pizazz, try different chip flavors like ranch dressing and jalapeno. —Crystal Schlueter, Northglenn, Colorado

Test Kitchen Tips
  • This is messy (in the best way!) but can be made into a colorful, party-friendly dish with a few easy steps. Simply cut grilled corn off the cob, toss with the mayonnaise mixture, and serve in portion cups topped with crushed chips and lime wedges.
  • If you are sensitive to spice, omit the cayenne pepper or sub in sweet paprika.
