  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 39 minute

Ingredients

– 4 ears of corn, husked
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 1 cup crumbled cotija cheese
– 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)
– Lime wedges (for serving)


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your own Grilled Mexican Street Corn:

1. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot before adding the corn.

2. Prepare the Corn: Husk the corn, removing all silk. Rinse under cool water to clean.

3. Grill the Corn: Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are charred.

4. Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well-blended.

5. Coat the Corn: Once the corn is grilled to perfection, remove it from the grill. Brush the corn generously with the mayonnaise sauce.

6. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle cotija cheese over the corn while the sauce is still wet, allowing it to adhere better.

7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped cilantro (if using) and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra punch of flavor.

8. Enjoy: Dive into this amazing treat with friends and family, and watch everyone rave about it!
