Ingredients

  • 4 ears Corn
  • cup Mayonnaise
  • cup Sour Cream
  • 1 tbsp Lime juice
  • 1 clove Garlic pressed
  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • ½ tsp Cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • Cojita cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F. Meanwhile, cut the tip of the corn and peel the outer first layers of the ears, until you have just a thin layer of the skin. When the oven is preheated, place the ears of corn inside for 30 minutes, turning halfway. If you would like to shuck the corn all the way you can, just wrap the corn in aluminum foil prior to placing it in the oven. 
  • While the corn is in the oven, place the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, pressed garlic, and cilantro in a bowl and mix. 
  • Place the chili powder, cayenne pepper and salt in a small bowl and mix. 
  • Once the corn is done cooking in the oven, carefully shuck the remaining layers of the corn. Spread the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, pressed garlic, and cilantro on the corn. Grate the cojita cheese on top. Sprinkle the spice mix over the corn. Serve with a lime wedge and Enjoy!
