Mexican Grilled Corn

Mexican Grilled Corn
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon ground ancho chile pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 8 ears corn on the cob, husked
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted, or as needed
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Cotija cheese
  • salt to taste (optional)
  • 1 lime, sliced


  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  2. Combine mayonnaise, lime juice, ancho chile powder, and smoked paprika in a bowl; whisk until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil corn in the salted water for 5 minutes. Drain the corn.
  4. Place ears of corn on hot grill and cook until the kernels begin to brown and caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the corn and continue to cook, turning ears after 1 to 2 minutes, until they are browned with slightly charred, caramelized spots.
  5. Generously brush corn with melted butter and ancho-lime mayonnaise until kernels are coated. Sprinkle ears with Cotija cheese and salt. Garnish with slices of lime.
