Description
A delicious and traditional Mexican street food made with grilled corn, creamy sauces, and zesty toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ears of corn
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp lime juice
- Salt to taste
- Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat.
- Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.

- Spread the mayo mixture over each ear of corn, then sprinkle with cotija cheese and salt.

Notes
For a healthier option, try using yogurt instead of mayonnaise and sour cream. Grilling corn without the husk can enhance the smoky flavor.
