Ingredients
4 ears of corn, husked
2-3 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 cup cotija cheese (or feta as a substitute), crumbled
1 lime, cut into wedges
1/2 tsp chilli powder (or more to taste)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
1 tbsp butter (optional, for extra richness)
Salt to taste
Directions
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Grill corn directly on the grates, turning occasionally, until nicely charred on all sides (about 7–10 minutes).
While corn is grilling, mix mayo with a little lime juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Once grilled, brush each cob with the mayo mixture.
Sprinkle generously with crumbled cheese, dust with chili powder, and add cilantro if using.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
