When making Air Fryer Mexican Street Corn, you can cook the corn however you like. Often times you’ll find it grilled or boiled. Well, maybe after trying this recipe you’ll consider air frying! I’m a big fan of cooking corn on a hot grill. Corn soaked in water with the husked on to ensure that the corn roasts nicely without burning. Not to mention that undeniable smokey grilled flavor you get from using charcoal. With that all being said, going with the air fryer cooking method is a great alternative that’s extremely quick and easy. Remove the husk and toss it right in the air fryer. That’s it!
