Method
Preparation
Prepare the Corn
Remove the husks and silk from the fresh corn on the cob. Rinse them under cold water to clean.
Steam the Corn
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Place a steaming rack in the pot and add the corn on the cob. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes until the corn is tender.
Grilling
Serving
Apply the Toppings
Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise over each ear of corn. Sprinkle with cotija cheese and a dash of chile powder.
Garnish and Serve
Serve the corn with lime wedges on the side. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped cilantro for added flavor.
