Ingredients
- 4 ears of fresh corn (husks and silk removed)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Mexican crema
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese (crumbled)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (more for garnish)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 lime (cut into wedges)
- - chopped cilantro (for garnish)
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Place the ears of corn on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the corn is charred in spots and tender, about 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream or Mexican crema, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- When the corn is done, brush each ear with the mayonnaise and sour cream mixture, using a spoon or brush to coat the corn evenly.
- Sprinkle the coated corn with crumbled cotija cheese and chili powder. Add salt to taste.
- Squeeze lime juice over the corn and garnish with chopped cilantro.
- Serve the Mexican street corn immediately with extra lime wedges and a sprinkle of chili powder if desired.
Notes
- When grilling the corn, make sure it is turned occasionally to get an even char and tender texture. The slight charring adds a smoky flavor that enhances the overall taste of the dish.
- Crumbling the cotija cheese over the coated corn provides a salty and tangy contrast. Press the cheese gently into the mayonnaise and sour cream mixture to help it adhere.
