Ingredients
4 ears of fresh sweet corn, husked
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Mexican crema (or sour cream)
1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
1/2 teaspoon chili powder or Tajín seasoning
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, cut into wedges
1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Step 2: Place the corn ears directly on the grill grates. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is charred in spots and tender.
Step 3: While the corn is grilling, whisk together the mayonnaise, Mexican crema, minced garlic, and a squeeze of lime juice in a small bowl.
Step 4: Once the corn is done, remove it from the grill and immediately brush each ear generously with the creamy sauce mixture.
Step 5: Sprinkle the crumbled Cotija cheese over the corn, pressing slightly so it sticks to the sauce.
Step 6: Dust with chili powder or Tajín and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve warm with extra lime wedges.
Notes
For an extra smoky flavor, grill the corn over charcoal rather than gas.
