A creamy, yogurt and mayonnaise-based sauce with ancho, garlic, lime, cotija, and cilantro coats fresh, grilled sweet corn... A great side dish with a cumin-rubbed and grilled chicken breast or pork chop!

Steps
Husk the corn. Snap in two (if desired). Skewer (if desired). Make the sauce.
Whisk all sauce ingredients together. Taste for seasoning.
Grill until some kernels are charred, turning to cook on all sides - about 15 minutes total.
Remove the corn from the grill and cool 5 minutes.
Using a basting brush, generously "paint" the corn with the sauce. Garnish with additional crumbled cotija and chopped cilantro.
