Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 4 ears of fresh corn on the cob
  • ½ cup crumbled queso fresco cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder

Instructions
 

  • Get your grill or oven ready by preheating it to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Get rid of the husks and silks from the corn and lay the corn on the grill.
  • Grill the corn for roughly 10-12 minutes, flipping it every so often, until it has a light char and is fully cooked.
  • As the corn is being cooked, mix mayonnaise, queso fresco cheese, sour cream, cilantro, chili powder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
  • Once the corn has been grilled to perfection, transfer it to a platter and generously spread the mayo mixture over every ear of corn, ensuring complete coverage.
  • For the ultimate taste experience, present the corn hot, accompanied by a handful of cilantro on top and a side of lime wedges to squeeze over it.
