Ingredients

  • 4 ears Corn on the cob
  • 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sour cream or Mexican Crema
  • 0.5 cup Cotija cheese, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon Chili powder or Tajin
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 whole Lime wedges
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Peel back the husks and remove the silk from the corn. You can leave the husks attached at the base to use as a handle.

  3. 3

    Place the corn directly on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and minced garlic.

  5. 5

    While the corn is still hot, brush each ear generously with the mayonnaise mixture.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the crumbled cotija cheese over the corn, pressing lightly so it adheres to the sauce.

  7. 7

    Dust with chili powder and garnish with fresh cilantro.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
