Sizzling Smoky Street Corn on the Cob

Allergens

Dairy (in the Cotija cheese)

Ingredients

• 2 fresh corn cobs, husks removed
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon ground smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper (adjust to taste)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons grated Cotija cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice, smoked paprika, chipotle pepper, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Grill the corn cobs for 5 7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are slightly charred and tender.
3. Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly. Then, using a brush or spoon, generously spread the mayonnaise mixture onto each cob. Sprinkle with Cotija cheese, if desired.
4. Top with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.

Chef’s Insight

For an added smoky flavor, soak the corn cobs in water with a few drops of liquid smoke for 15 minutes before grilling.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the spice level to your preference by changing the amount of chipotle pepper used.
