Ingredients
- 8 medium ears sweet corn, husks removed
- 1/2 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon chipotle pepper
- 2 teaspoons Lime zest, from one lime
- 2 Tablespoons lime juice, from one lime
- 1 cup cotija cheese, crumbled and divided
- Additional chopped cilantro, for garnish
- lime wedges, to serve
Instructions
- Heat a gas grill to 400°F, or prepare charcoal for a charcoal grill. Husk the corn.
- While the grill is heating, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, garlic, chipotle pepper, lime zest, lime juice, and 1/2 cup of the cotija cheese. Taste and season with salt, if needed.
- Grill the corn by placing the husked corn directly onto the grill grates. Grill for about 10 minutes total, turning every 2-3 minutes until the kernels are lightly charred on all sides of the cobs. Remove from the grill to a large baking dish or plate.
- Using a brush or spoon, slather each ear of corn with the sauce, then sprinkle with remaining crumbled cotija cheese. Sprinkle with additional chipotle pepper and chopped cilantro and serve with extra lime wedges, if desired.
Notes
- While not a perfect substitute, grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta may be used in place of cotija cheese. Also, if you have ancho chili powder on hand, you could replace the 1/4 teaspoon of chipotle chili powder with 1 teaspoon of ancho chili powder instead.
