Experience the bold flavors of grilled corn on the cob, topped with zesty lime, creamy cotija cheese, and a sprinkle of chili powder for a delicious street-style treat.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn on the cob and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Remove from the pot and let cool slightly.

Prepare the Corn

In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

Mix the Sauce

Once the corn is cool enough to handle, carefully cut the kernels off the cob or leave them on the cob if preferred. Brush or coat the corn with the prepared sauce, ensuring it's evenly covered.

Coat the Corn

Sprinkle Cotija cheese generously over the coated corn. Add more chili powder if desired.

Add Cheese

Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
