Servings: persons

1/4 cups Mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoons Cumin Powder
1/4 teaspoons Black Pepper
4 ears Corn, Husks On
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
Sea Salt
1/2 teaspoons Chili Powder (more If You Prefer)
1/2 cups Grated Cotija Cheese Or Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cups Chopped Cilantro
4 slices Lime Wedges

1
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, garlic powder, cumin powder and black pepper. Set aside.
2
Peel husks of corn back but do not remove them. Pull and discard silk from each ear and fold husks back over the cob. Wrap each ear loosely with a damp paper towel. Microwave corn on medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
3
Carefully remove paper towels from each ear of corn. Pull husks down to the base of each cobb. Using either kitchen twine or a piece of the husk, tie husks together into a bundle to form a handle. Brush olive oil over corn kernels.
4
Place corn on the grill over medium heat. Grill corn for about 5 minutes, rotating every 1-2 minutes, until surface becomes slightly charred. Remove corn to a large platter. Brush melted butter over corn and spread a layer of mayonnaise mixture on top. Sprinkle each ear with sea salt, chili powder, cotija cheese and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges to be squeezed over the corn.
