Grilled Mexicana Corn Recipe

Ingredients

* 5 ears sweet corn
* 8 tablespoon butter
* 2 garlic cloves minced
* ¾ cup mayonnaise
* ½ cup cotija cheese
* 2 tablespoon cilantro chopped

# Instructions

1. Chop the cilantro. Grate the fresh garlic with a microplane or use a garlic crusher. Husk the corn.
2. Melt butter and garlic. This can be done in the microwave or on the grill in a small cast iron skillet.
3. Place corn on the grill on medium high heat.  Baste the corn with garlic butter.  Turn every 2-3 minutes while continuously basting with garlic butter.
4. Remove the corn from the grill once the corn is cooked with a slight char. Spread mayonnaise evenly on corn. Sprinkle cotija cheese and cilantro so it sticks to the mayonnaise. Serve immediately.
