Savory Grilled Corn

For some, butter and salt will do the trick, but for others the sour cream, cotija cheese and chili powder toppings of this recipe is more your style.

Cooking for 5 people

Ingredients

  • 5 corn on the cob
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise (sour cream can be used instead)
  • 1 cup grated cotija cheese
  • cayenne pepper or chili powder
  • fresh or dried parsley
  • 2 limes, sliced

1 Food Prep

  • If your corn is in the husk, prepare your corn for direct grilling by removing the husk and silk.

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
  • Place your shucked corn directly above the coals. Grill your corn for 10–15 minutes, turning every 2 minutes until the kernels soften and become lightly charred. If your corn begins to char before kernels soften, move it to the cool side of the grate and close the lid to allow for additional cooking.
  • Once your corn is lightly charred and kernels are cooked through, remove it from the grill. 
  • Coat your corn with mayonnaise, then add cotija cheese all over. Top your corn with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper and parsley on one side. Squeeze lime juice on top, and enjoy!
