Ingredients
- 6-8 Ears of Corn (husked)
- Mexican Crema (found in your local grocery store by the cheeses or Mayonnaise)

- Chili Powder or Smoked Paprika
- 2 Limes
- Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
Directions
- 1. Heat a grill to medium-high heat and add the corn.

- 5. Sprinkle lightly with cotija cheese, chili powder and lime juice.
- 6. Top with a little bit of the fresh cilantro and enjoy.
