2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Stir well until smooth and evenly mixed. Set aside for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into each other.

5. You can also roast the corn in the oven at 400 F for 25 minutes or cook in boiling water for 10-15 minutes. However, grilling yields a sweeter and creamier taste.

7. Drizzle with extra lime juice, cilantro, and a sprinkle of chili powder, if desired.

Mexican here, never tasted this recipe, is way too different of how it’s prepare in Chihuahua state, not sure about other Mexican states.

Mexican here, we usually add the dressings one by one instead of mixing it and adding it all. Usual ones are butter, mayo, cotija cheese and chilli powder. Some people might squeeze a lemon on top. The corn is either boiled till soft or grilled with it’s leaves on the grill. Also yellow sweet corn is not used often, since it is not as common. Otherwise it is not far from a street elote.

Mexicans give French people a run for their money on how much they harp on about authenticity.

Looks good, but, that’s sweet corn, in México we use white corn or cacahuazintle corn!
