Total time: 25 minutes
Level: Easy peezy lime squeezy (pun intended)
Ingredients
2 Corns (one corn per person)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 chopped cilantro leaves
1 cup grated Parmesan
1 lime
Red chili powder (how ever much you would like)
Directions
- Remove the husks of the corn but leave the core attached at the end so you have something to hold onto.
- Grill the corn on a hot grill or cast iron griddle pan until slightly charred. If you want to take a shortcut you can also boil the corn but it will not taste as good.
- Turn it so it gets cooked evenly all over.
- Mix the mayonnaise and cilantro together.
- While the corn is still warm slather with mayonnaise mix.
- Squeeze lime juice over the corn and shower with Parmesan.
- Season with chili powder and serve with extra lime wedges.
- OPTIONAL: if you are cooking for a party you can shred the corn and serve into little individual bowls.
