Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Corn

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

2

Grill the Corn

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

3

Make Ancho Chile Mayonnaise

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

4

Coat the Corn

Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the grill and brush the ancho chile mayonnaise generously over each ear of corn.

5

Add Toppings

Sprinkle cotija cheese over the coated corn and top with freshly chopped cilantro.

6

Serve

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
