Ingredients
Corn:
- 6 ears of corn (husked and all silk removed)
- Mazola® Corn Oil
- 2 teaspoons of chipotle chili powder
- ¼–⅓ cup of cotija cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Sea salt
- 2 limes (juiced)
Mexican cream sauce:
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of sour cream
- 1 lime (juiced)
- ¼ teaspoon of chipotle chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
Instructions
- Step 1) Place each corn cob on a piece of foil. Brush Mazola® Corn Oil on each cob and lightly sprinkle all sides with sea salt. Wrap the foil tightly around each cob.
- Step 2) Preheat the grill to high heat and place all 6 corn cobs on the grill. Close lid and cook for 15–20 minutes or until the cobs can easily be pierced with a fork. Turn cobs often as they cook to prevent burning.
- Step 3) While the cobs are cooking, mix the Mexican cream ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Step 4) When the corn cobs have a crispy exterior, carefully remove the foil.
- Step 5) Lightly brush each corn cob with the Mexican cream sauce mixture and sprinkle additional chipotle chili powder, cotija cheese, fresh parsley, and fresh lime juice.
- Enjoy!
