Method

Corn Preparation

  1. 1

    Grill the Corn

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Husk the corn and remove any silk. Brush the corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the corn directly on the grill grates.

  2. 2

    Grill the Corn

    Cook the corn for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until it is charred and cooked through. Remove from the grill and allow it to cool slightly.

Toppings

  1. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the corn is grilling, prepare the toppings. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and chili powder until well combined.

  2. 4

    Apply the Toppings

    Once the corn is cool enough to handle, brush each cob with the mayonnaise mixture. Generously sprinkle Cotija cheese over the top of each cob. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
