  • 1/2 cup chipotle mayo
  • 1/2 cup cotija cheese, crumbled

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  2. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until charred in spots and tender, about 10 minutes.

  3. Remove corn from the grill and let cool slightly, about 2 minutes.

  4. Spread or brush the chipotle mayo evenly over each ear of corn.

  5. Sprinkle the cotija cheese over the corn, pressing gently so it adheres, and serve immediately.
