Paprika offers a milder flavor with health benefits.

Grill the corn over medium-high heat for 10–15 minutes, turning every few minutes until it’s charred in spots.

Preheat the broiler by setting your oven to broil on high (usually ~500°F) and letting it heat for 5–10 minutes.

Brush corn lightly with oil or melted butter for a deeper char, and optionally sprinkle with a little salt.

Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup and place the corn directly on the sheet or use a wire rack for even browning.

Place the baking sheet on the top rack, about 4–6 inches from the broiler and broil for 2–3 minutes per side, rotating every couple of minutes with tongs for a total time of 8–10 minutes until you see beautiful brown/black charred spots.

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream (or crema), garlic (optional), and lime juice to make the sauce.

While the corn is still hot, brush or spread the sauce generously all over each ear of corn.

Sprinkle on cotija cheese and dust with chili powder or Tajín, adding chopped cilantro if desired.
