Method

Prep the Corn

Start by selecting the freshest corn you can find. Peel back the husks to reveal the corn, removing any silk strands. Rinse the ears under cool water to wash away any dirt.

Cook the Corn

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add your cleaned corn and let it cook for about 7-10 minutes until tender.

Create the Flavorful Coating

While the corn cools, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk until creamy.

Apply the Coating

Grab your cooled corn and gently brush or smear your creamy mixture all over each ear.
