Description

This Creamy Cilantro Lime Corn is packed with flavor! Perfect for any meal, it’s simple to prepare with fresh corn, cilantro lime crema, and delicious toppings. A must-try for your next gathering!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ears corn, husk and silk removed
  • 4 tablespoons softened butter
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup cilantro lime crema
  • cilantro, for garnish
  • Tajin, for garnish
  • crumbled cotija cheese, or queso fresco, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Arrange the corn on a large baking sheet. Brush each ear of corn with softened butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper for flavor.
  3. Roast the corn in the oven for 20 minutes. For extra char, switch on the broiler during the last 2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning. Rotate to char all sides evenly.
  4. Remove the roasted corn from the oven, generously spread cilantro lime crema over each ear, and add your favorite toppings. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to substitute queso fresco for cotija cheese if desired.
Adjust the amount of Tajin to suit your taste preferences.
For a spicier kick, you can add jalapeños or chili flakes.
