Grilled Mexican Corn

Ingredients

• 1 cup Cotija cheese grated fine
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 4 teaspoons chili powder
• 5 tablespoons lime juice
• 6-8 ears corn
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 3/4 cup plain yogurt

Instructions

1. In a small bowl combine the yogurt, mayonnaise and lime juice. In another small bowl combine the Cotija cheese, chili powder, cayenne pepper, cumin and salt.
2. Build a charcoal fire for direct grilling using Kingsford® charcoal. While the grill is heating, remove the corn from the husks. Grill the corncobs directly over the hot coals (approximately 450˚F) for 6-7 minutes turning every two minutes until kernels start to soften.
3. Remove the corn from the grill and apply a light coat of the yogurt mixture to each cob. Sprinkle each corncob liberally with the Cotija cheese mixture, and they are ready to serve.
