- 1 cup cilantro lime crema
- cilantro, for garnish
- Tajin, for sprinkling
- crumbled cotija cheese, or queso fresco, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Arrange the corn on a large baking sheet. Brush each ear with softened butter, then season with salt and pepper.
- Roast the corn in the oven for 20 minutes. For added flavor, switch the broiler on high for the last 2 minutes, turning the corn frequently to char evenly without burning.
