Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, shuck the corn and remove all silk.

  2. 2

    Grill the Corn

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

  3. 3

    Season the Corn

    Once grilled, remove the corn from the grill and brush it with lime juice. Sprinkle chili powder and salt evenly over the corn.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the cotija cheese generously over the corn, then top with chopped cilantro.

  5. 5

    Serve

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