Directions

1

Prepare the Corn

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Husk the corn and remove any silk.

Grill the Corn

Place the corn directly on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn is tender and has grill marks.

3

Prepare the Sauce

In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

4

Coat the Corn

Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the heat. Brush the prepared sauce generously over each ear of corn.

Add the Toppings

Sprinkle crumbled Cotija cheese and chopped cilantro over the coated corn. Serve immediately.
