A delightful twist on the classic Mexican street corn, this recipe adds a touch of spice and zest for a flavorful experience.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean to prevent sticking.
Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until charred and tender.
Rotate the corn frequently to achieve even charring.
In a small bowl, mix the butter and mayonnaise until well combined.
Use room temperature butter for easier mixing.
Brush the butter-mayonnaise mixture generously over the grilled corn.
Apply the mixture while the corn is still warm for better absorption.
Sprinkle the Cotija cheese and chili powder evenly over the corn.
Hold the corn over a plate to catch any toppings that fall off.
Serve the corn with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating.
Encourage guests to add lime juice to taste for a zesty kick.
