(Skinny) Mexican Grilled Corn on the Cob Elote, or Mexican street corn, is one of our favorite summer indulgences -- after all, who could say no to cream-and-cheese-smothered corn? Now you can enjoy the street food staple with less guilt, thanks to this slimmed down version, which substitutes protein-rich Greek yogurt for mayonnaise.

Ingredients
4 ears of fresh sweet corn (shucked)
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons light sour cream
3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon Fiesta Lime Mrs. Dash (optional)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, cut into wedges
Salt and pepper to taste
Light olive oil or olive oil spray

Directions
In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt and sour cream. Set aside. Mix together chili powder, Mrs. Dash (optional) and salt and pepper in another small bowl. Spray or brush each ear of corn lightly with olive oil. Grill for approximately 10 minutes, turning often to avoid burning. The corn should brown in places and be cooked through. Take corn off of grill and brush with the Greek yogurt mixture. Sprinkle with the spice mixture, cheese and cilantro. Squeeze lime wedges over each piece of corn.
