always wanted to recreate it and decided to seek out some recipes to make it happen! This recipe makes the perfect side dish to any BBQ meal. The lime, chili powder and grilled corn make the flavors pop and are a good representation of true Mexican corn.

Prep the corn by removing the silk, but keeping the husks on (this is critcal for grilling corn!). Heat the grill to a high heat. Grill the corn by constantly turning to get grill char on all sides (about 10 minutes). Remove the corn cobs and let cool slighty. Cut off the kernals using a knife. Heat a skillet on the stove and add the corn kernals, creme fraiche, lime juice, zest from 1 lime, chili powder and salt & pepper.
