Ingredients
Scale
4 ears of corn, husked
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
Grill or broil the corn until lightly charred on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, chili powder, and lime zest until well combined.
Spread the cheesy mixture evenly over the corn kernels.
Sprinkle with queso fresco and fresh cilantro.
Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Notes
For an extra cheesy flavor, you can add a layer of shredded Monterey Jack cheese before the queso fresco.
If you don’t have a grill, you can roast the corn in the oven at 400°F (200°C) until tender and slightly browned.
Adjust the chili powder to your preferred level of spice.
