Elote (Grilled Mexican Street Corn)

-

8 ears fresh corn with husks ½ cup Duke’s Mayonnaise 1 cup crumbled cotija cheese 1 teaspoon chile powder 1 teaspoon paprika

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructio­ns: Heat the grill to medium.

Pull back the husks on the corn (do not detach) and remove the silks. Replace the husks and soak the ears in cold water for 10 minutes.

Remove the corn from the water and shake off the excess. Fold back the husks and tie to create a handle. (Use a torn-off piece of the husk as the tie.) Place the ears on the grill and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasional­ly until the corn is tender. Remove from the grill.

Brush the corn with the mayonnaise and roll in the cheese. Sprinkle evenly with the chile powder, paprika and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
