Preparation:
Cilantro queso fresco sauce: 
=====================
Combine the egg, the crushed garlic, the cilantro, a dash of salt, and ¼ cup of the oil in a blender and blend until the ingredients are pureed 
Continue blending and add the remaining oil until the mayonnaise sauce starts to thicken 
Add the crumbled queso fresco and lime juice, blend until you have smooth sauce. Add salt to taste 

Pre-boil corn & grill method: 
====================
Pre-boil for 2-3 minutes, then rub with butter or oil and grill for 10-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes 
Wrap corn in foil grilling method: Remove the husks and silk from the corn, rub with oil or butter. Wrap each ear of corn in foil and grill for 15-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. Using gloves, carefully remove the foil and grill for 3-5 minutes if you want that crispy charred finish 

Corn grilled with husks on: 
===================
Remove a few of the outer husks and open the husks (without removing them), remove the corn silks and then close the husks. Soak in cold water for a couple of hours before grilling. Grill with husks for 15-20 minutes, turning corn every 5 minutes 

Using gloves, remove or pull back the husk, and grill for 3-5 minutes if you want that crispy charred finish
