    3 Servings

Ingredients

For the Grilled Corn:
  • 3 Corn on The Cobs, Husks on
  • 2 tablespoons Butter, Softened
  • 1/2 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chipotle Chili Powder, Or chili powder
For the Crema Sauce:
  • 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons Mexican Crema, Or sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, Finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Queso Cotija, Crumbled (can use feta cheese if queso cotija is not available)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chipotle Chili Powder, Or chili powder

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, soak the ears of corn (husks on) for 30 minutes.
  2. Using a small bowl, combine the softened butter, lime juice, Parmesan cheese, salt and chipotle powder. Stir until well combined.
  3. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  4. Carefully pull the husks back from the corn, but do not entirely remove husks. Remove silk from corn.
  5. Rub the butter mixture evenly across the corn. Pull the husks back into place and tie closed with string.
  6. Grill the corn for 17-20 minutes, turning frequently to prevent burning.
  7. Meanwhile, make the Crema Sauce by stirring together the mayonnaise, crema, lime juice, salt and cilantro.
  8. Remove corn from grill and allow ears to cool slightly.
  9. Pull husks back and discard. Drizzle Crema Sauce across the corn; sprinkle queso cotija and chipotle powder across the tops of corn before serving.
