Description
A quick and delicious way to prepare corn on the grill, packed with char, cream, lime, and cotija cheese flavors, reminiscent of street food.
Ingredients
For the corn
- 4 ears ears of corn (Fresh ears make a big difference. Frozen whole ears can be used but will need less cooking time.)
For the sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese (Can substitute with feta if cotija is hard to find.)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- Salt to taste (Add after cheese; cotija already brings some salt.)
Instructions
Cooking the Corn
- Preheat your Blackstone grill over medium-high heat.
- Grill the corn for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until charred.
- Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly.
Preparing the Sauce
- In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, chili powder, and lime juice.
Assembling the Dish
- Coat the grilled corn with the mixture.
- Sprinkle cotija cheese and add salt to taste.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
Notes
Leftover corn can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Do not freeze the dressed corn. If reheating, you can return some char by cooking gently on a griddle.
