Ingredients

 
2 (4-ounce) bags CORN NUTS® Chile Picante Con Limon
Vegetable oil, for brushing grill grates
6 ears corn
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
½ lime, juiced. Plus wedges for serving
1 clove garlic, minced
½ cup crumbled queso fresco
Hot sauce, to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. In the bowl of a food processor, place CORN NUTS® Chile Picante Con Limon. Pulse until roughly chopped. Transfer to large plate and set aside.

  2. Pull back the husk of corn, leaving it attached at the base. Remove the silk. Tie the husk back with butcher’s twine.

  3. Heat grill to medium heat and brush grates with oil. Grill corn until fully cooked, for about 15 minutes, turning every 4 to 5 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, and garlic. Place cheese on large plate. Brush grilled corn with mayo mixture and dip into cheese, then chopped CORN NUTS® Chile Picante Con Limon, evenly coating each corn. Drizzle with hot sauce, to taste. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
