Ingredients:

2–3 ears of corn, cut into bite-sized chunks

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sour cream or Mexican crema

1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta as a substitute)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish)

Boil or Steam the Corn:

Cut the corn cobs into smaller chunks (about 2 inches each).

Make the Sauce:

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream (or crema), lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Stir in half of the crumbled cheese.

Toss the Corn:

While the corn is still warm, toss it gently in the creamy mixture until well-coated.

Garnish:

Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top.

Dust with paprika or chili powder (and cayenne, if using).

Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley.

Serve:

Serve warm or at room temperature. Perfect as an appetizer or a party side dish.
