Heat your grill to medium-high. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred, 7 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, zest of 1 lime, chile powder, salt and pepper.
Slather hot corn with mayonnaise mixture and sprinkle with cheese and cilantro. Cut limes into wedges and serve alongside corn.
My favorite ! I love them so much that I have iterated over this again and again and have settled on this mix: 4 tbsp mayo, 4 tbsp crémè fraîche, 1/2 tsp ancho cilli powder, 1/2 cup of cotija cheese and 1/4 cup cilantro.Mix this thoroughly, baste on corn and then sprinkle some Tajin salt all over. Now squueze a 1/4 wedge lime on it
I find that par-boiling the corn in about 8 cups of water with one cup of milk and about a tablespoon of sugar for about 5-7 minutes makes he corn more tender and adds flavor.
Sometimes I'll grill corn, cut it off the cob and add the rest of the ingredients here to make a corn salad. It's great for summer potlucks.
Delicious as written. Also wonderful subbing parmesan for the cotija cheese, and adding a few large pinched of smoked paprika to the mayo mixture. Grilled corn can also be stripped from the cob and gently mixed with the mayo mixture for a warm corn salad.
This look great, but in Central Illinois we have Sweet Corn that's actually SWEET, so it's rare we try and cover up the flavor.
I'll remember this the next time I'm in Texas.
I made grilled corn like this two nights ago with a Creuset cast iron grill over an electric stove with a fine outcome. It's not a cheap toy, but made to last.
So good, so easy. I used queso fresco because we already had it on hand and that worked well too
I’d def “parboil” the corn in the husks in the microwave next time so they don’t get all dried out naked on the grill. As I use Tajin, I’ll also back off the lime zest. Smoked paprika and/or chipotle would be nice in the dressing, too, which I make half mayo and half plain yogurt. Yummmmmm
Add a bit of sour cream & more chili powder.
Go easy on mayo mixture so it doesn't get gummy...it's mostly a way to help cheese adhere. I also added a sprinkle of tajin for some color and a bit of added zing. Muwhaa!!
I don't have a grill, so I cooked the corn in the oven under the broiler as suggested. I was SHOCKED at how fast and easy it was and how delicious it turned out. Highest recommendation!
To make this a five star, add sour cream to the mix and you have a winner!
Absolutely delicious both for it’s simplicity and flavor. I went a little heavier on the lime zest and loved it. New summer staple at our home.
I like to add a little ricotta when I have some; also grated garlic, green onions, for texture
This is so good. So good in fact that I can't believe I hadn't thought to make this before. Added some smoked paprika and lime juice to the mixture. Otherwise made as written. Delicious!!
Cook the corn with a smidgen of water and some milk. Take off the cob, add remaining ingredients in to a bowl- spoon this over the hot corn copiously! Eat with sweet butter pickles.

Excellent!!!
I did not grill (no outdoor grill and was using the grill pan for asparagus - topped with chopped Mama Lil’s peppers in their oil and some ricotta salata…you’re welcome) but boiled as normal. THIS IS DELICIOUS. Messy, but the best things in life are slightly messy.
Easiest I think to do this in a large cast iron pan, as I do.
We found adding a touch of garlic powder and rather more than a touch of minced red onion makes this even more delicious. I will also second the idea of cutting the corn off the cob after grilling to make this into a salad. It makes it a little easier to take leftovers for lunch... If you ever have leftovers.
