Mexican-Style Grilled Corn for the 4th of July

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 4 Ears Corn on the Cob – in husks
  • 1 tbsp. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • ¼ Cup Butter – unsalted and softened
  • ½ Cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 Garlic Clove – minced
  • ½ Cup Cilantro – freshly chopped – saving some for garnish
  • 1 Lime – juiced
  • ½ Cup Cotija Cheese – crumbled
  • Red Chili Powder – to taste
  • Kosher Salt – to taste

Instructions
 

  • Remove the silks from the cob, but leave the husk intact. Brush the corn with olive oil.
  • Heat the grill to medium-high. Grill the corn often, turning on the hot grill until it starts to get slightly charred around the whole ear for about five minutes. Continue cooking and turning the corn until it is slightly softened to the touch.
  • In a separate bowl, add the softened butter, mayonnaise, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice until thoroughly mixed. When the corn is finished, brush with the butter mixture, top with the cheese, and sprinkle with chili powder and salt. Garnish with the remaining cilantro. Serve immediately with extra salt.
