Prep time: 10 mins             Cook time: 10 mins  
Total time: 20 mins             Servings: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 to 8 medium ears sweet corn, husks removed

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper, or to taste

  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest, from 1 lime

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, from 1 lime

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

  • Lime wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Heat a gas or charcoal grill to 400°F:

    Once the grill is hot, clean the grates.

  2. Whisk together the sauce:

    Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, garlic, chipotle pepper, lime zest, and lime juice. Taste and season the mixture with salt if needed. Set aside.

  3. Grill the corn:

    Place the husked corn directly onto 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.

  4. Top the corn with sauce and cheese:

    Using a brush or a spoon, coat each ear of corn with the sour cream mixture. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese. Sprinkle with additional chipotle pepper, if desired. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges.
