20 minutes Prep: 10 minutes Serves 8

Ingredients (7)

8 ears of corn, husked
¼ cup mayo
¼ cup sour cream
½ cup grated Cojita cheese
2 teaspoons Tajin seasoning
½ cup freshly chopped cilantro
1 lime, sliced

Directions

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil; cook corn until tender, about 10 minutes. If you want to grill the corn instead, that is totally fine and delicious too.
Mix mayo and sour cream together in a shallow bowl.
Roll each ear of corn around in the mayo-sour cream mixture to coat, set aside.
Sprinkle Cojita cheese, tajin, and cilantro evenly over each ear of corn. It should stick to the mayo/sour cream mixture.
Enjoy immediately. Put a tiny bit of lime juice on each to add extra flavor.
