Oaxacan Grilled Corn



This corn was great! It tasted wonderful, but not so figure friendly. We will not make this often, but fun for a special treat. Lucas really liked it too! Oh yes, came from Better Homes and Gardens Ultimate Mexican Special.

Ingredients:
8 ears fresh sweet corn
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 Tbsp chili powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
3/4 cup of light mayo or salad dressing (we used mayo)
3/4 cup freshly grated queso anejo (couln't find so I used queso fresca)
2 limes, cut into wedges

Tie husks back (I just pulled them back) and remove silks. Hold ears over a plate and brush with butter. In a small bowl combine chili powder and cayenne pepper. Place mayo, cheese, and limes in separate bowls and set aside. Grill corn on high heat for 12-14 minutes or until corn is carmelized. To serve, spread corn with mayo, then sprinkle with cheese and spice mixture and squeeze lime over all.
