Campfire Mexican Street Corn
Tips – Involving Kids
Get your kids to help you prep the ingredients by allowing them to crumble the feta cheese, squeeze the limes and portion out the mayonnaise.
Let your kids retrieve foods from the cooler and teach them about keeping it closed to maintain food safe temperature. Allow kids to stir the corn together with the other ingredients.
A fun and flavourful side dish to any campfire meal!
