Ingredients

• 4 pieces Corn on the cob
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Sour cream

• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Brush the corn on the cob evenly with vegetable oil. Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are charred and tender.

Step 3

While the corn is cooking, prepare the messy sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a minute to cool down slightly.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of butter over each cob while still warm.

Step 6

Generously slather the prepared messy sauce over the grilled corn using a spoon or basting brush.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumbled Cotija cheese evenly over the coated corn.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious, messy goodness!
