Roasted Corn with Spicy Mayo-Lime & Cotija Cheese
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn
- ¼ cup light or lowfat mayonnaise
- 1 ½ teaspoons freshly grated lime zest
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper or cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/3 cup Cotija cheese, crumbled
Method
- Prepare Corn: Peel back husks to expose kernels. Leave husks attached at the base; remove the silk threads and tie husks together with kitchen twine. Repeat with remaining ears. Soak corn and husks in water (fully submerged) for at least 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime zest, pepper, salt. Set aside (in the refrigerator).
- Spray grill’s grates with non-stick spray. Roast corn over medium heat from your grill, turning as needed until charred and cooked, about 15-20 minutes.
- Distribute the cotija cheese on a large plate.
- With a pastry brush, brush the mayonnaise mixture on each cooked corn. Roll the corn in the cotija, to coat. Enjoy!© Images & content: Cristina A-Moore for TeenieCakes.com.
