Instructions

Heat outdoor grill to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Clean the grates once it has heated. Add a little cooking oil to grill.

Sauce

Whisk together the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, salt chili powder, lime zest and lime juice. Add more salt to taste, if desired. Set aside.

Grilling

Grill the corn: Place the husked corn directly onto grill grates. Grill the corn for about 3-5 minutes or until kernels begin to turn golden brown and look charred. Turn over and repeat. When all sides are browned, remove from the grill onto a plate.
Using a bbq or pastry brush, coat each ear of corn with the sour cream mixture.

Toppings

Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper and cilantro.

Garnish

Serve with lime wedges.
