    8 ears fresh sweet corn, Olive oil spray
  • Grill for approximately 10 minutes, turning often to avoid burning. The corn should brown in places and be cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, sour cream, grated Parmesan, taco seasoning, lime juice, and salt. Set aside.

Notes

  • For easy grilling, leave the bottom end of the corn on as a handle.
  • You can leave the corn in the husks to grill if you prefer. This will make the corn extra moist and juicy. You can open up the husks, add butter, and then close them back up, grill, and then remove the silks and husks.
