VEGETABLE PLATE

✅Ingredients:

 

4 ears of corn
¼ cup of Crema Mexican Agria Sour Cream (regular sour cream will work as well)
¼ cup of mayonnaise
½ cup of Cotija cheese, crumbled
2 cloves of garlic, crushed (or finely minced)
¼ teaspoon of fine sea salt
Juice and zest of 1 lime
1/4 cup of Cilantro, finely chopped
½ teaspoon of chipotle chili powder.

 

✅Instructions:

 

Heat your grill to roughly 400 degrees F.
You can grill the corn with the husks on or off. I took the husks off to ensure that I got some nice grill marks on the corn and because I feel like it gives it a nice grilled flavor. FOR HUSKS ON: let your corn soak in water for 10 minutes before grilling. FOR HUSKS OFF: lightly spray spray each cob with cooking spray.**

Place the corn on the grill and grill for roughly 12 minutes, turning the cobs 1/4 turn every 3 minutes.
Mix the topping sauce by stirring together the Cacique®️ Crema Mexican Agria Sour Cream, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, garlic, lime zest and juice, and cilantro.
Generously top each corn cob with the cheese mixture, sprinkle with a bit of chipotle chili powder, and top with a bit of extra cotija cheese and cilantro.
Enjoy!!!
