  • 1/2 cup of crumbled cotija cheese
  • 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp of chili powder
  • chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or prep the stovetop grill pan.
  • Mix sour cream, mayo, lime juice, and garlic powder in a bowl; set aside.
  • Husk corn and remove silk.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, you can substitute the cotija cheese with a crumbled feta or queso fresco.
  • If you want to add more heat, you can mix some hot sauce into the creamy sauce before brushing it onto the corn.
  • To make this dish dairy-free, you can use vegan mayonnaise and sour cream alternatives.
  • If you don't have a grill or grill pan, you can also cook the corn in a pot of boiling water for 5-7 minutes before following the same instructions.
  • For an added crunch, you can sprinkle some crushed tortilla chips on top of the corn before adding the cheese and cilantro.
