Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ears of grilled corn on the cob
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice
½ teaspoon chili powder, plus more for sprinkling
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt or a pinch of fine salt
2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) finely grated Cotija cheese*
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • While you're grilling your corn, prepare the chili-mayo sauce and Cotija-cilantro blend. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, optional cayenne, and salt. Stir until combined. In a separate bowl, mix together the cheese and cilantro. Set both bowls aside.
  • When your corn is ready to go, brush the mayonnaise mixture all over one ear of corn. Over a plate, sprinkle the Cotjia mixture liberally all over, turning the corn as necessary (it's going to be a little messy, no way around it!). Place the finished cob on a separate serving plate. Repeat for the remaining corn, using the cheese in the bowl and the excess on the plate as needed.
  • Sprinkle a pinch or two of additional chili powder lightly over the corn. Serve warm.
