Ingredients:

• 4 ears of corn, husks removed
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream or Mexican crema
• 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta cheese)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1. Grill Corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the ears of corn directly on the grill grates. Grill, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and lightly charred on all sides, about 10-12 minutes.
2. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth.
3. Coat Corn: Once the corn is grilled, brush each ear generously with the mayonnaise and sour cream mixture, coating all sides.
4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the coated corn with crumbled cotija cheese, chili powder, and chopped cilantro (if using). Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
5. Serve: Serve the Mexican Street Corn immediately while it’s hot, with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
6. Enjoy: Sink your teeth into the creamy, cheesy goodness of this Mexican Street Corn, and savor the bold flavors that make it a street food favorite!
