Ingredients

  • 4 ears of corn
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (could also use cotija or feta cheese)
  • 1 bunch cilantro finely chopped
  • 2 limes

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, and garlic salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together paprika and chili powder.
  • Remove husks from corn.
  • Spread about 1 Tablespoon of mayonnaise mixture on each ear of corn.

Notes

There are a few symptoms and signs, to picking the perfect corn on the cob.
  • Look for tiny brown holes, towards the top of the husk 
  • Brush your fingers along the corn, and feel for plump kernels 
  • Look for brownish/white corn hair that is sticky to the touch 
  • Look for bright green and tight husks
