Clean the corn by removing silk and rinsing it.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Wrap two ears of corn in aluminum foil lined with parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes.

Boil a large pot of water and add salt (optional: sugar).

Clean and rinse the other two ears of corn and add them to the boiling water.

Boil the corn for 15 to 20 minutes.

In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup Mexican crema, and the juice of 1/2 lime; whisk together.

Prepare toppings: have Parmesan cheese, tahini, and tapatio sauce ready.

Once boiled, insert a wooden chopstick into each ear of corn for easy handling.

Dress the corn with the mayonnaise mixture and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and other toppings.
