MEXICAN GRILLED CORN

I consider this to be the greatest corn-on-the-cob recipe of all time. The way the mild, subtly salted cheese works with an ancho-lime mayonnaise, along with that buttery, smoky corn, is a magnificent combination of flavors. Perfecto!

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup mayonnaise
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon ground ancho chile pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
8 ears corn on the cob, husked
¼ cup butter, melted, or as needed
½ cup freshly grated Cotija cheese
1 pinch salt to taste
1 lime, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine mayonnaise, lime juice, ancho chile powder, and smoked paprika in a bowl; whisk until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil corn in the salted water for 5 minutes. Drain the corn.
  • Place ears of corn on hot grill and cook until the kernels begin to brown and caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the corn and continue to cook, turning ears after 1 to 2 minutes, until they are browned with slightly charred, caramelized spots.
  • Generously brush corn with melted butter and ancho-lime mayonnaise until kernels are coated. Sprinkle ears with Cotija cheese and salt. Garnish with slices of lime.
