This recipe gets its inspiration from Mexican street corn. Piping hot corn on the cob is smeared with mayonnaise and dredged with Queso or Cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, chile powder, lime and plenty of salt and pepper. The mayonnaise melts right into the corn to take on a whole new flavor and acts as the ‘glue’ to hold everything together. It’s incredibly tasty, as well as addicting and very messy which somehow makes it all the more enjoyable to eat. You can grill the corn which is probably a more traditional way of cooking it. But I’m a big believer in roasting.
