4 ears of corn
3 Tbs vegetable oil
1/2 cup sour cream

1 lime, juice and zest

  2. Heat a grill to medium-high. Rub the corn and husks with vegetable oil. Place the corn on the grill and cook, while turning, for about 3 minutes per side. Turn if husks begin to burn. When corn is tender, remove from the grill.
