Directions

Step 1 Preheat a grill for even, medium-high heat. Place corn on the grill and cook for 15 min. with the lid on.

Step 2 Remove corn from heat and let cool for 10 min., or until it can be handled. Peel back the husks and grill the ears with the lid off for 5 to 10 min., or until corn is slightly charred. Alternatively, bake the corn in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 35 min.

Step 3 Liberally brush corn with mayonnaise and generously sprinkle all sides with Mexican Street Corn Seasoning, Cotija cheese, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
