Ingredients

  • 4 ears of sweet corn in husk preferred
  • ¼ cup (60ml) of low-fat sour cream
  • ¼ cup (60ml) of light mayonnaise
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 garlic clove grated
  • ½ tsp (2.5ml) of salt
  • 1 cup (250ml) cotija or feta cheese crumbled
  • ½ tsp (2.5ml) of chili powder
  • ¼ cup (60ml) of fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 Tbsp (30ml) of panko crumbs
  • ● pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat BBQ to medium heat. Soak corn in water for 15-30 mins before grilling to prevent the husks from burning. Grill the corn in its husk until sweet and tender (around 7-10 minutes). Remove husk and finish cooking for 2-3 more minutes. Set corn aside to cool slightly.
  • While corn is cooking, make a crema: Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
  • Pour the crema into one plate and crumbled cheese into another, with both plates side by side. Roll the corn into the crema and then the crumbled cheese.
  • Top each corn with chili powder, cilantro, panko crumbs, and pepper to taste.
