Preparation Time

Ingredients
• ½ cup mayonnaise • 1 lime, juiced • 1 tablespoon ground ancho chile pepper • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika • 8 ears of corn on the cob, husked • ¼ cup butter, melted, or as needed • ½ cup freshly grated Cotija cheese • salt to taste • 1 lime, sliced
Steps
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; about 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.
