Ingredients
  

  • 5 fresh sweet corn cobs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 lime juiced and zested
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika or Trader joes chili lime seasoning
  • 1/2 cup cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

Grilling Corn

  • Heat grill to medium
  • Pull the outer husks down but do not remove off. You just want to be able to remove all the silk from the corn and then fold the husks back up over the kernals.
  • After they are all clean place ears of corn in a large pot filled with cold water and 1 Tablespoon of salt. Soak corn for 10 minutes.
  • Remove corn and dry off excess water. Place on grill and cover for 20 minutes. Rotating corn about every 5 minutes.

Spread

  • While corn is grilling combine mayo, sour cream, garlic, and lime juice and zest in small bowl. Set aside

Topping

  • Combine cheese, paprika and cilantro, set aside
  • Pull corn off of grill and slather with spread until covered and then add topping. Enjoy!!

Notes

*Notes To make it more authentic you can use cotija cheese instead of Parmesan
