Quite tasty. As someone who typically eats corn with salt and butter, this was a nice alternative. The chile powder gives it a real kick. I liked it, but my husband ate around the spices as he thought it was too hot.
Grilled Mexican Corn with Crema

On the streets of Mexico, people line up at vendor carts to buy giant ears of roasted corn dunked in rich crema Mexicana and sprinkled with chili powder and lime juice. Crema Mexicana is similar to sour cream and can be found in many large supermarkets. If you can't find it, use low-fat sour cream.
