Ingredients
- 8 ears corn
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cup cotija cheese grated
- chili powder to taste
- 1 lime cut into wedges
- cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the gas side of the Cuisinart Twin Oaks Pellet & Gas Grill to high heat. Husk corn, tying the husks at the bottom with culinary twine or removing completely, then place on hot grill and cover. Turn corn every 2-3 minutes, until lightly charred, closing the lid between each turn. Remove from grill.
- Rub each corn cob with butter, then mayonnaise. Sprinkle with cotjia cheese, then add chili powder to taste. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and garnish with cilantro. Serve hot.

Notes
- *you don't want to overcook the corn, so keep turning it every 2-3 minutes, not every kernel needs to be blackened.
- *if you can't find cotija cheese, parmesan works well also.
- *control the spiciness with how much chili powder you use, starting with less and building up from there.
