Description
Delightful grilled corn on the cob slathered with creamy sauces and topped with zesty seasonings, a traditional Mexican favorite.
Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn, husked
- 1/2 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder or chipotle seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the corn on the cob for about 10-15 minutes, rotating occasionally, until charred and cooked through.
- In a bowl, mix together the Mexican crema, lime juice, chili powder, and salt.
- Once the corn is grilled, brush the crema mixture over the corn until well coated.
- Sprinkle with cotija cheese and additional chili powder if desired.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
For a smoky flavor, use a charcoal grill or add liquid smoke to the crema mixture. Grilling corn with husks can add moisture but increases cooking time.
