Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 medium ears sweet corn, (husks and silk removed)
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 lime, (juiced)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Instruction

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F-400°F). Using a brush, coat each ear of corn with oil to make sure it doesn't stick to the grill during cooking.
  • Place the corn onto the grill grates, cover and let cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the corn is cooked through and charred in some spots. Turn the cobs and repeat the grilling process until all the sides are cooked and browned. Remove the corn from the grill and transfer to a large plate or baking sheet. (You can also steam or boil the corn if you don't have a grill. See instructions below in the Notes section.)
  • In a small bowl, add mayonnaise and lime juice. Mix together with a spoon.
  • Using a brush or a butter knife, spread the mayonnaise mixture onto each ear of grilled corn. 
  • Sprinkle each ear with 2 tablespoons of Cotija cheese, 1 tablespoon of cilantro and a pinch of chili powder. Taste and season with salt if desired.
