RECIPE BY Cooking Light

Look for crema at Latin markets or by the supermarket's Mexican cheeses. It's slightly tangier than sour cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons queso fresco
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons Mexican crema or sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 4 ears corn, shucked
  • 4 lime wedges

We love the spicy flavor of this recipe and enjoyed it many times last summer--can't wait to make it again this season! I made the recipe just as written and served it with a variety of other grilled dishes--perfect summer eating.

I liked the idea of this but the crema mixture had too much chili powder and salt for my taste. I won't make this again.
