Grilled Mexican Street Corn

Ingredients

Scale

4 fresh ears of corn, husked

2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

¼ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup sour cream or Mexican crema

½ tsp chili powder

¼ tsp smoked paprika

Juice of 1 lime

½ cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta)

2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Extra lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Corn: Brush each ear of corn lightly with olive oil or melted butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.

Grill the Corn: Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill the corn for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred all over.

Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, and smoked paprika until smooth.

Dress the Corn: Once grilled, brush each ear of corn generously with the creamy sauce.

Top It Off: Sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, and an extra dash of chili powder if you like it spicier.

Serve & Enjoy: Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of brightness.
