Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to medium heat, aiming for a temperature of approximately 400º Fahrenheit.
  • Combine cotija cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped cilantro, lime juice, Tajín seasoning, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
  • Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until all sides are tender and lightly charred. Total grilling time should be 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Remove the corn from the grill. Coat each ear evenly with the prepared sauce using a pastry brush or spoon. Squeeze fresh lime juice over each ear and sprinkle with additional cotija, cilantro, and Tajín before serving.
