Grilled corn taken off the cob and mixed with creamy mayo, lime juice, cotija cheese and hot sauce.
Ingredients
  • 3 ears fresh corn
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • juice from half a lime
  • 2 ounces cotija cheese, crumbled
  • hot sauce or chili powder to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Instructions
  1. Place corn, still in husks, on a hot grill (450°-500°F) for about 10 minutes turning often. Don't worry if the husks burn. Remove and let cool until you can handle them and remove the kernels.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together warm kernels, mayo, lime juice, cheese and hot sauce or chili powder to taste. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with more hot sauce or chili powder and lime wedges if desired.
