Ingredients

• 4 ears fresh corn husked frozen is fine if using the oven
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 2 juiced limes
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• fresh ground pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon cilantro
• 1 ounce cotija cheese feta is also fine

Instructions

• First step is to turn your grill on to medium high and let it heat for at least 10 minutes. After 10 minutes make sure to clean your grill with a grill brush thoroughly. If using the oven heat to high broil.
• Place the corn onto the hottest part of the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes. The corn should be charred, but not completely burnt. Turn each corn cob 90 degrees and repeat until all sides are charred. If using the oven, place corn under the broil and repeat the same process.
• Place charred corn into a wide brimmed container or bowl. When corn is cool enough to handle, grab a sharp knife and hold the corn vertically. Starting from top to bottom shave the kernels off of the cob and into the container below. Repeat for all four corn cobs.
• Add all other ingredients to the bowl. Garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and more cotija cheese. Serve salad either warmed or at room temperature. The flavors will not be the same cold.
