Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Vegenaise (feel free to substitute regular or light mayonnaise; we just like Vegenaise a lot more)
- 3 TB sour cream
- 3 TB minced fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced or pressed
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 4 tsp juice from 1 lime
- 1 oz grated Cotija cheese (it's worth it to find this cheese instead of substituting something like Pecorino)
- 6 large ears of corn, husks and silk removed
Directions
-
Cook corn per your favorite method – boiling water; microwave; etc. Just don’t overcook it.
-
In a large bowl, combine Vegenaise, sour cream, cilantro, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, black pepper, cayenne, lime juice and cheese. Check seasoning for desired flavor.
-
Place cooked corn directly over stove flame, turning regularly with tongs to achieve char marks. Remove to platter when done.
-
Add charred corn to mixture and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately. I like to provide additional lime wedges with the corn.
