- 4 ears of fresh corn, husked
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Mexican crema

- Place corn (you can wrap in aluminum foil) on a pre-heated grill, turning occasionally, until the kernels are lightly charred and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Use a brush or a spoon to spread the creamy mixture evenly over each grilled corn ear.
- Roll each corn ear in the crumbled cotija cheese, pressing lightly to help the cheese adhere to the creamy sauce.
- Sprinkle additional seasoning to taste.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.
Serve the Mexican street corn while it's still warm. This dish is often enjoyed by holding the cob by the husk or using skewers for easier eating.
