Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn, husked
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter (for grilling)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese (or feta, crumbled)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Chopped cilantro (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill:
Heat your grill to medium-high. Brush the corn with vegetable oil or melted butter. - Grill the Corn:
Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is charred and cooked through. - Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. - Coat the Corn:
Once grilled, remove corn from the grill and immediately brush or spread the creamy sauce all over the corn while it’s hot. - Add Toppings:
Sprinkle generously with crumbled cotija cheese, a dash of smoked paprika, and chopped cilantro. - Serve:
Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing. Enjoy!
