Description
A quick and flavorful dish featuring charred corn topped with a creamy mix, cotija cheese, and a squeeze of lime, perfect as a side for tacos or grilled meats.
Ingredients
For the Corn
- 4 ears ears of corn
For the Creamy Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (Use full-fat for best results.)
- 1/4 cup sour cream (Full-fat recommended.)
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese (Substitute with feta if necessary.)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (Adjust based on lime size.)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (Add more if desired.)
- Salt to taste
- Chopped cilantro for garnish (Optional, for garnish.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your Blackstone grill over medium-high heat.
- Husk the corn and place them directly onto the grill.
- Cook, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
- While the corn is grilling, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Once the corn is ready, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly.
- Brush the mayonnaise mixture onto the corn, then sprinkle with cotija cheese and additional chili powder if desired.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Notes
Serve hot or warm as a side for grilled meats or tacos. Leftovers can be stored by cutting the kernels off the cob and refrigerating in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for best texture. Consider variations with different cheeses or adding hot sauce.
