Peel back the outer layer of the corn husk without removing it completely to expose the kernels.

Remove the silk from the corn by brushing it with your hand or using a brush.

Brush the corn with olive oil or coconut oil to coat it well.

Sprinkle the corn with homemade seasoning rub.

Fold the husk back over the corn to create a 'corn cocoon' to keep moisture in.

Twist the top of the husk to secure it closed.

Preheat the Traeger grill to 450°F, which takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

Place the corn on the grill and smoke for 5 minutes before increasing the temperature.

Grill the corn for 25 to 30 minutes.

Prepare the crema sauce by mixing together 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt, 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of cumin, 1-2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 teaspoons of lime juice, and 1/3 cup of cojita cheese.

Mix in chopped cilantro into the crema sauce or reserve it for garnish.

Once the corn is done, fold back the husk to create a handle for serving.

Optionally, add butter and salt to the corn, or drizzle with sriracha or wing sauce, or lather with the crema sauce.
