Ingredients

  • 3-4 cobs of corn
  • 4 Tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup cotija, queso blanco, feta, Parmesan or Romano grated
  • Chile powder to taste
  • 1 lime, sliced into 4 wedges

Instructions:

  1. Turn your oven’s broiler up to high.
  2. Peel off the outer layers of the corn and clean off all the corn silk. Leave the green ends attached for a convenient handhold.
  3. Place the cobs on a baking pan under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, then rotate them and repeat until they’re brown and toasty all the way around. The broiling shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes total.
  4. Working quickly, spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise over each cob, lightly coating every kernel. Next, sprinkle the cheese all over the corn. It should stick fairly easily to the mayonnaise, but you’ll probably get a little messy coating them thoroughly.
  5. Sprinkle chile powder over the corn, but not too heavy or it’ll be gritty. Use any chile powder you like; ancho or cayenne are great.
  6. Lastly, squeeze lime juice all over and serve hot.
