Save Recipe

Ingredients

4 ears of corn
4 sheets of foil

For the Aioli

4 tbsp. mayo
2 cloves garlic, minced
juice of 1 lime
salt and pepper, to taste
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. chili powder

For Serving

Grated Cotija Cheese (use parmesan if you can't find)
Cilantro
Sprinkle of Chili Powder
1 lime, cut into 4 wedges.

Instructions

In a bowl, combine all of the aioli ingredients and stir until well combined.
Place ears of corn on top of a sheet of foil and brush all over with the aioli until coated evenly. You should use about 3/4 of your aioli to brush 4 ears of corn and reserve the remaining aioli for later.
Wrap the corn in the foil. Grill over medium-high heat until corn is tender and charred, about 10-12 minutes, rotating the corn every 3 minutes. (If you prefer to cook without foil, you can put the corn directly on the grill and grill for about 6 minutes total, turning over halfway through the cooking time).
Remove from grill and unwrap the corn. Place on a plate and brush with remaining aioli. Top with the grated cotjia cheese, cilantro, a sprinkle of chili powder, and serve with the lime wedges.
Enjoy!

Notes

To make the corn into a festive dip, after grilling cut the kernals off of the husk. Place in a bowl and toss with the remaining aioli, garnish with the cheese, cilantro, chili powder and serve with lime.
