Allergens

Dairy (if using feta cheese)

Ingredients

• 6 ears of fresh corn, shucked and cleaned
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
• Freshly chopped cilantro for garnish
• Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle to medium high heat.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Set aside.
3. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, for 8 10 minutes or until slightly charred on all sides. You can also cook the corn on a stovetop griddle, turning frequently.
4. Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly. Brush each ear of corn generously with the spicy chipotle mayo, making sure to coat every inch.
5. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the mayo coated corn.
6. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.

Chef’s Insight

The key to this dish is finding fresh, locally-grown corn for the best flavor and texture.

Notes
