By lbgtdep

Ingredients

• Vegetable oil (for brushing)
• 4 4 4 ears of corn, husked
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 cup store-bought or homemade (see Cooks' Note below) chipotle mayonnaise
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 cup grated fresh Cotija cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat a grill pan over medium-high; oil grate or pan. Lightly brush corn with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, until tender and well charred, 4–5 minutes per side (16–20 minutes total). Let cool slightly.
Spread each ear with 1 Tbsp. mayonnaise and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. cheese.
Cooks' Note
Combine 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 1 Tbsp. adobo sauce from a can of chipotle chiles in adobo for homemade chipotle mayonnaise. If you can't find Cotija cheese, substitute queso fresco or Parmesan.
