Grilled Corn with Cayenne, Lime, and Cotija Recipe
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 6 ears corn, husks on
- 1 medium lime, cut into 6 wedges
- Stir together the mayonnaise, garlic, salt, and cayenne in a small bowl until well combined.
- Place the cheese in a shallow dish that is at least as long as the corn.
- Heat the grill to medium high (about 350 degrees F to 450 degrees F).
- Before grilling the corn, carefully peel back the husks of each ear a little more than halfway and remove as much silk as you can without pulling the husks off.
- Then pull the husks back up.
- Place the corn on the grill and close the lid.
- Every 10 minutes, roll the corn a quarter turn so it cooks evenly.
- (If your grill tends to have hot spots, move the cobs around so they grill evenly.)
- Cook until the husks are charred and starting to peel back from the corn, about 35 minutes total.
- Remove from the grill and set aside until the corn is cool enough to handle.
- Without detaching the husks, peel them back completely, turning them inside out so they form a handle.
- Brush the corn with a thin layer of the mayonnaise mixture, roll the cobs in the crumbled cheese, and serve.
- Pass the lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the corn.
