A vibrant and flavorful grilled corn recipe featuring a sweet and spicy honey sriracha glaze paired with a creamy, tangy cotija lime crema. Perfect for summer cookouts and quick, delicious side dishes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears of fresh corn, husked
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about half a lime)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the honey sriracha glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon sriracha, and the melted butter until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Make the cotija lime crema: Combine sour cream, cotija cheese, lime juice, lime zest, and garlic in another bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to blend all flavors. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
  4. Brush each ear of corn generously with the honey sriracha glaze using a basting brush, covering all sides.
  5. Place the glazed corn on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to get an even char and avoid burning.
  6. Once grilled, sprinkle the corn with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Serve the corn warm with a dollop or drizzle of cotija lime crema on top.

Notes

Watch the glaze carefully while grilling as the sugars in honey can burn quickly. Move corn to a cooler spot or reduce heat if glaze drips or burns too fast. Prepare the cotija lime crema ahead of time to let flavors meld. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt and omit or replace cotija cheese.
