Grill the corn for about 5 minutes on one side, then turn to grill evenly.

In a bowl, combine 2 heaping tablespoons of sour cream and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise.

Juice half a lime and mix it into the sour cream and mayonnaise mixture.

Continue grilling and rotating the corn until it is completely cooked and has a nice char.

Once grilled, brush the corn with salted butter.

Spread the creamy mixture over the corn, then top with crumbled queso fresco.

Sprinkle with chili powder and smoked paprika, and garnish with cilantro if desired.
