Ingredients
- 3 corn on a cob
- 2 tablespoons our cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili lime seasoning
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- Taki chips
- Rinsed feta, crumbled
Directions
- Soak the corn in water and place the husk over direct heat. The water will steam the corn, making it nice and tender.
- Once soft, remove the leaves that may be left and grill the corn to get nice char marks.
- Let cook and remove the kernels from the cobs by sliding your knife down the corn husk.
- In a bowl, add your seasoning, mayo, sour cream, lime zest, and lime juice. Mix and adjust seasoning to your liking.
- Add your corn into the dressing and mix.
- Serve your salsa over top of the food and sprinkle on the crumbled feta and taki chips to add salt and texture. Enjoy!
TIP: You can use Cotija cheese, but that may be hard to find in some areas, so by rinsing and drying the feta, you get a similar texture and flavour.
