    1/4 cup mayo
    1/4 cup sour cream
    1 package Cotija cheese

    1/4 cup cilantro
    2 limes
    All-Purpose Seasoning

    I just made this for my 12yr old daughter & my hubby... He started out looking at me like I was ruining the 🌽. Man, 18yrs & I've NEVER seen him eat corn like that b4... The slurping!
    I thought 6 pieces would be enough for us. I'll never make that mistake again! Delicious 😋

    Pro tip: if you use the non sharpen end it will go into the corn much easier and usually won't break the stick. I don't understand it, but I do it everyday at work so try it out

      @Moneka Woods too much starch?? This is a cooking channel. Not a diet channel. Just because you don't want to eat it doesn't mean you need to leave a dislike on the video. Just don't watch it. Like, just walk away lmfao. It's disheartening to put a lot of work into a video just for someone to leave a dislike because you don't like the recipe or food type or whatever. You're not the target audience.

    Looks so good. I’ve had these at the Mexican restaurants. It is one of my favorites.
