Ingredients

  • 4 ears sweet corn (husk removed)
  • 1/4 cup Mexican crema (or sour cream)
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest
  • 1 Tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
  • 3 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 3 Tablespoons crumbled cotija cheese (more if desired)

S&P, to taste

    Instructions

    • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
    • When the grill is hot, place corn directly on on the grates. Flip occasionally until all sides are lightly charred (about 5-10 minutes). 
    • Mix together the Mexican crema, mayo, lime zest, lime juice and chili powder in a small bowl. Set aside. 
    • Once cooked, brush the crema sauce all over the top. Sprinkle with cotija cheese and cilantro. Add salt and pepper (plus more chili powder) to taste.
