This recipe for Mexican street corn is quick and easy which means it can be made on a weeknight, but is full of flavor so it tastes like it took all day.

Measurements for the purposes of Bright Line Eating:

  • I measured these corn cobs before and after eating and they come out to about 3 oz of corn once you take away the cob, so 2 of them is 1 vegetable serving.

  • The 1/4 cup of strained yogurt is 1/4 of a protein serving.

  • The Parmesan cheese will need to be weighed as each person will use a different amount. You can use 0.5 oz as a fat serving, or 1 oz as half a protein serving.
