Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    Start by husking the corn and removing all the silk. Rinse the corn under cold water to clean it.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will ensure a good sear on the corn.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Roast the Corn

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

  2. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, cotija cheese, and guajillo powder together until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste if desired.

Serving

  1. 5

    Coat the Corn

    Once the corn is roasted, remove it from the grill and let it cool for a minute. Using a brush or spoon, generously coat the corn with the mayonnaise mixture.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle additional cotija cheese on top if desired. Serve with lime wedges and chopped cilantro on the side for garnish.
