Select fresh corn on the cob with bright green husks and plump kernels. Peel back the husks to remove silk strands and rinse under cool water.

Add Flavor

Mix mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, and a sprinkle of salt in a bowl for the topping.

Grill for Perfection

Preheat the grill over medium heat. Grill the boiled corn for 3-5 minutes on each side until charred.

Serve with Love

Remove the corn from the grill and serve with the prepared toppings.
