Ingredients
- 8 corn husks and silk removed, ears
- 3 Tbsp butter
- ⅓ C mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp lime juice fresh
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp black pepper cracked
- 2 tsp chili powder

Instructions
- Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn cobs on a rack about 4 inches above the fire, and allow to cook until it starts to char, around 5 minutes. Turn and continue charring until all sides are slightly blackened.
- In a small bowl, stir together the mayo and lime juice, set aside.
- Remove corn from grill, then rub each with about 1 teaspoon of butter. Take the lime mayo and rub each cob with roughly 2 teaspoons of the mixture. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, chili powder, then add the crumbled queso fresco. Serve immediately.
