Method

Corn Cooking

Grilling the Corn

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Husk the corn and remove any silk. Brush each ear of corn with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Grilling Process

Place the oiled corn on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until all sides are charred and tender.

Cooling Down

Once done, remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly before handling.

Topping Application

Applying Mayonnaise

Using a brush or a spoon, spread a generous amount of mayonnaise over each grilled ear of corn while it is still warm.

Cheese and Seasoning

Sprinkle cotija cheese generously over the mayonnaise-coated corn. Then, sprinkle chili powder and salt to taste.

Serving

Serve the corn immediately with lime wedges and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top.
