Ingredients 1x2x3x
- 6 ears of corn, husked and all silk removed
- olive oil
- sea salt, to taste
- 2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder
- ¼ to ⅓ cup cotija cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Juice of 2 limes
Mexican Cream Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- juice of 1 lime
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place each ear of corn on a piece of foil. Brush olive oil on each ear of corn and lightly sprinkle all sides with sea salt. Wrap foil tightly around corn.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat and place all 6 ears of corn on the grill grates. Close lid and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the corn on the cob can easily be pierced with a fork. Turn often while the corn is cooking to prevent burning the corn cob.
- Combine the cream sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- When the corn is done cooking, carefully remove the foil.
- Lightly brush each ear of corn with Mexican cream sauce.
- Sprinkle chipotle chili powder, cotija cheese, fresh parsley, and fresh lime juice over each ear of corn.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the heat isn’t too high on the grill. You don’t want a direct flame coming into contact with the foil.
- If the crema is too thick for your liking when you are ready to use it, a splash of lime juice will thin it out as needed.
- If you are making this for a crowd, instead of adding extras of each topping yourself, set the ingredients out in bowls or sectioned trays and allow your guests to customize their corn toppings.
