Air Fryer Mexican Street Corn On The Cob (Elotes)

Method

01
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.Chop the cilantro and set aside. Melt the butter in a medium bowl. Using a pastry brush, coat the corn on all sides. Reserve the remaining butter to prepare the sauce.Place the corn into the air fryer basket and cook for 10-15 minutes. Flip or turn the corn to cook the corn evenly while cooking.
02
While the corn is cooking, in a medium bowl combine the salt and pepper, remaining melted butter, chili powder, and sour cream. Mix well. Remove the corn from the air fryer and apply the sour cream sauce. Pour the cotija cheese in a large plate, apply the cotija cheese to the corn by either rolling the corn in the cheese or sprinkling the cheese over the corn. Finish it off by adding the cilantro and squeezing a little lemon juice for extra zest. Finally, ENJOY!
