6 tablespoons mayonnaise (homemade or store-bought)
1 medium garlic clove
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¾ cup crumbled Cotija Cheese (about 4 ounces) (Feta or parmesan will also work!)
6 ears corn, husks on
1 medium lime
Instructions
Stir together mayonnaise, garlic, salt, cayenne until well combined. Place cheese in a shallow dish. Strip off outermost layers of the husk on each ear and soak the corn in water until ready to grill.
Heat grill to medium high (350-450 degrees).
When ready, remove corn from the water and place (still covered with husk) onto the grill. Rotate ears by a third every ten minutes. Cook until husks are moderately charred.
Without removing husks, pull each husk down to form a handle while removing silk at the same time. Working quickly, brush each ear with a thin layer of the mayonnaise mixture. Sprinkle cheese over or roll each ear in the cheese. Serve immediately with a wedge of lime for squeezing over corn.
