Ingredients

4 Ears of corn
½ cup Mexican creama
¼ cup mayo
1 cup of Cotija cheese, crumbled
All Purpose seasoning
Garlic powder
Tajin
Juice and zest of 1 lime
1/4 cup of chopped cilantro (not a fan of cilantro so this step is optional)
½ teaspoon of chipotle chili powder or paprika

Instructions

For this recipe I boiled my corn, but this can be done on the grill

Boil corn in a pot of water with a pinch of salt and 1 juice from one lime.
In a bowl add mayo, creama, AP seasoning, garlic powder, lemon zest and tajin. (I like my sauce a little sweet, so I added ½ tsp sugar which is optional)
Drain corn and drizzle with sauce and cotija cheese and chili powder or tajin on top.
Serve and enjoy!
