Method

1

Preheat your grill to medium heat.

2

Husk the corn and remove the silk. You can leave the stem on as a handle, or cut it off.

3

Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until the kernels are lightly charred and tender, about 10-15 minutes.

4

While the corn is grilling, prepare the sauce by mixing together the Mexican crema (or sour cream) and mayonnaise in a small bowl.

5

Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

6

Spread the crema mixture evenly over each ear of corn.

7

Sprinkle generously with crumbled Cotija cheese and chili powder.

8

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the corn.

9

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
