4 large ears of corn, shucked 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon chili powder Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Preheat grill to medium high heat.
Brush corn with olive oil and season with chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Grill corn for 8 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until kernels are tender and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chopped chipotle peppers, lime juice, and cilantro.
Remove corn from grill and immediately spread chipotle aioli over each ear of corn. Serve warm.

To add more smokiness, let the corn sit wrapped in foil for 5 minutes after grilling before spreading the aioli.

The smokiness of the corn pairs perfectly with the spicy, tangy chipotle aioli.
