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!
