Ingredients

6 - 8 medium ears sweet corn, husks removed
½ cup Mexican crema, or sour cream
½ cup Best Foods mayonnaise
½ cup chopped coriander
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ tsp ground chipotle pepper, or to taste
¼ tsp SIDS CRAZY LEMON
2 tsp finely grated zest, from 1 lime
2 tbsp lime juice
½ cup Cotija or Feta cheese, crumbled
Lime wedges, to serve

Directions

Heat a gas or charcoal grill to 200°C.
Once the grill is hot, clean the grates.
Meanwhile, whisk together the crema, mayonnaise, coriander, garlic, chipotle pepper, SIDS CRAZY LEMON, lime zest, and lime juice. Taste and season the mixture with salt if needed. (Crema and cotija cheese have a little salt already, so add extra judiciously) Set aside.
Place the husked corn directly onto grill grates. Grill the corn for about 3 minutes, undisturbed, until kernels begin to turn golden brown and look charred. Turn over and repeat. When all sides are browned, remove from the grill onto a plate. Using a brush or a spoon, coat each ear of corn with the crema mixture. Sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese. Sprinkle with additional chipotle pepper, if desired. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges.
