4 ears of corn (slice off the corn as close to the husk as possible)
a knob of butter
A small onion, finely chopped
1 green chilli, seeded and chopped
Juice of 1 lime
¼ cup sour cream (regular or light) or Mexican crema (if you are lucky enough to find it!) or cream cheese (for a richer taste)
Melt the butter in a saucepan and fry the onion till soft and translucent (4-5 minutes). Add the corn and continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes until they are just tender. Add the chilli, lime and sour cream. Turn off the heat and stir till mixed through.
Season with salt to taste and garnish with chopped spring onions and Tajin.
Serves 3-4 as a side dish.
