Main Ingredients

4 ears Fresh Corn on the Cob Select ears that are bright green and tightly wrapped for optimal freshness.
1/4 cup Mayonnaise Use full-fat mayonnaise for a rich, creamy texture.
1 cup Mexican Cheese (Cotija) Crumbled Cotija adds a salty, tangy taste.
1 tablespoon Chili Powder Opt for a mild chili powder or go bold for an extra kick.
1 tablespoon Lime Juice Freshly squeezed lime juice elevates the dish.
1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro Use chopped cilantro as a garnish.
to taste Salt A pinch of salt enhances all the other flavors.

Method

Preparation

Start by husking your fresh corn on the cob. Remove the green outer leaves and silky threads, revealing the plump, golden kernels. Rinse each ear under cool water.
In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, and salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Place the corn directly onto the grill grates and grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until charred.
Remove the corn from the grill and brush each ear generously with the prepared sauce. Sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese and chili powder over the top.
Serve immediately while warm, squeezing additional lime juice over each ear.
