Ingredients:

6 to 8 medium ears of sweet corn, husks removed

• 1/2 cup Mexican crema, or sour crema

Whisk Together The Sauce:

In a bowl, whisk together the crema, mayonnaise, cilantro, garlic, chipotle pepper, lime zest, and lime juice. Taste and season the mixture with salt if needed. Set aside.

Grilled The Corn:

Place the husked corn directly onto the grill grates. Grill the corn for about 3 minutes, undisturbed, or 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.
