Corn on the Cob with Cheese and Lime

By kathryns

Ingredients

• 4 ears of corn in the husk
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
• 3/4 cup shredded cotija or feta
• Accompaniment: lime wedges

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare grill.

Soak corn in husks in cold water 10 minutes. Drain corn and grill on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until husks are charred, about 10 minutes. Shuck corn and grill until kernels are browned in spots, about 10 minutes.

While corn is grilling, in a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise and cayenne. Using the small teardrop-shaped holes on a four-sided grater grate cotija.

Brush mayonnaise mixture onto hot corn and sprinkle with cojita.

Serve corn on the cob with lime wedges.
