Ingredients
  

  • 4 corn on the cob husk removed
  • ½ c. cotija cheese
  • ⅓ c. Mexican crema
  • ⅓ c. mayonnaise
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 2 tbsp. cilantro chopped
  • 1 tsp. Tajin seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Boil the corn for about 5 minutes, or until tender.
  • In a bowl, add the Mexican crema, mayonnaise, and lime juice. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
  • Chop the cilantro, set aside.
  • When the corn is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it slightly cool off.
  • Brush the Mexican crema mixture over the corn.
  • Add cotija cheese, Tajin seasoning, and cilantro.

Notes

  • Boil the corn just until tender so it stays juicy.
  • Mix the crema, mayo, and lime well for a smooth coating.
  • Let the corn cool slightly so the sauce sticks without sliding off.
  • Use finely crumbled cotija for the best texture.
  • Add Tajin lightly at first and adjust to taste.
