Mexican Street Grilled Corn Slathered with Mayo, Cheese, and Chili Powder 🌽🔥

Ingredients:

• 4 ears of corn, husked

• 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

• ½ cup mayonnaise

• ½ cup sour cream (or Mexican crema)

• 1 cup crumbled Cotija cheese (or Parmesan/Feta as substitutes)

• 1 tsp chili powder (adjust for spice level)

• ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional, for extra smokiness)

• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

• 1 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional for garnish)

• Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1️⃣ Preheat the Grill – Heat your grill to medium-high (400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

2️⃣ Prep the Corn – Brush the husked corn with olive oil or melted butter to help it char nicely.

3️⃣ Grill the Corn – Place corn directly on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until kernels are tender and slightly charred.

4️⃣ Make the Creamy Coating – In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, and lime juice.

5️⃣ Coat the Corn – While hot, brush or spread the creamy mixture evenly over the grilled corn.

6️⃣ Add Toppings – Sprinkle generously with crumbled Cotija cheese, chili powder, and smoked paprika.

7️⃣ Garnish & Serve – Finish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve immediately!
