Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh corn, husked

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta cheese)

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's ready for some delicious corn.

    Carefully husk the corn, removing all the silk and the outer layers. Rinse the cleaned ears under cold water to remove any remaining bits and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

      In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. This will create a creamy and zesty sauce that will enhance the corn's flavor.

        Once your grill has heated up, place the corn directly onto the preheated grates. Grill the corn for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until it develops a nice char and is tender to the bite.

          After grilling, carefully remove the corn from the grill and set it aside to cool for a few minutes.

            Take the prepared sauce and generously brush it over each grilled ear of corn, ensuring every inch is covered for maximum flavor.

              Next, roll the sauced corn in the crumbled cotija cheese, making sure the cheese adheres well to all surfaces of the corn.

                For an added layer of flavor, sprinkle a little extra chili powder over the corn and finish with a generous garnish of fresh chopped cilantro.

                  Serve the corn while it’s still warm, accompanied by lime wedges for a zesty squeeze over the top for those who love a bit more tang.
