- Adjust the spice level: Add more or less chili powder to suit your preference. You can also use a combination of green chilies and red chilies for a richer flavor.
- Don't overcook the corn: Overcooked corn can become mushy. Cook until it's tender but still retains some texture.
- Fresh is best: Using fresh corn on the cob whenever possible will make a significant difference in taste and texture.
