Grilled Mexican street corn with cotija cheese, spicy ancho lime mayo - perfect summer side dish.
Ingredients:
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon ground ancho chile pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 8 ears corn on the cob, husked
  • 0.25 cup butter, melted, or as needed
  • 0.5 cup freshly grated Cotija cheese
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
  • 1 lime, sliced
Instructions:
  • Prepare the grill by preheating it on high heat and greasing the grate lightly.
  • In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice, ancho chile powder, and smoked paprika until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Place a large pot of generously salted water on high heat until it comes to a rolling boil. Add the corn and let it boil for 5 minutes. Drain the corn before serving.
  • Grill corn until kernels brown and caramelize, about 2-3 minutes. Turn occasionally until slightly charred and caramelized, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Brush the corn liberally with a mixture of melted butter and zesty ancho-lime mayonnaise until each kernel is well-coated. Sprinkle the ears with crumbled cotija cheese and a pinch of salt. Serve with a garnish of fresh lime slices.
