• 4 ears Corn on the cob
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise

• 1 clove Garlic, minced(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

   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.

   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.
