Mexican grilled corn covered in mayo and topped with cheese & chili powder.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tsp mayo
- ¾ cup cotija cheese
- 4 tsp chile piquín
- 2 tsp lime juice
Instructions
- All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
- Peel and shuck the corn, removing all the corn silk.
- To cook the corn, you may choose to boil or grill it. I prefer the taste and texture of grilled corn, but sometimes boiling is easier.
- To boil: fill a large pot up with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once brought to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and add the corn. Cook for 15 minutes or until softened.
- To grill: Turn the grill to medium high heat and allow to warm up before placing the corn on the grill. Cook for 5-10 minutes, depending on how charred you like it. Make sure to turn occasionally for an even cook.
- Regardless of whether you’ve boiled or grilled the corn, allow it to cool enough to comfortably handle before sticking it through the base with a bamboo skewer.
- Hold the skewer to support the corn as you add the toppings.
- Use a knife or spoon to spread the mayo all over the surface of the corn.
- Over a plate (to catch the excess in order to reuse), sprinkle or pat the cotija cheese over the corn.
- Over another plate, sprinkle the chile piquín across the corn as well. Do NOT coat this on unless you like super spicy things.
- Over a new plate or on your own plate, drizzle a little bit of lime juice over the corn and enjoy!
