Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 Ears of Corn (husked)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Sour Cream
- 1/2 cup Cotija Cheese (crumbled)
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 Lime (juiced)
- 2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Brush each ear of corn lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400F. Place the corn in the basket and air fry for 12-14 minutes, turning every 4 minutes, until charred in spots and tender.
- While the corn cooks, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, half the lime juice, and a pinch of chili powder in a small bowl until smooth.
- As soon as the corn comes out, brush each ear generously with the creamy sauce while still hot so it sticks well.
- Sprinkle the crumbled cotija cheese, chili powder, and smoked paprika over each ear, turning to coat all sides.
- Finish with a squeeze of remaining lime juice and a scatter of fresh cilantro. Serve hot.
