Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons chili powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 ears corn, unhusked
4 limes
½ cup crumbled Cotija cheese (queso anejado)

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Mix together chili powder, kosher salt, and cayenne in a small bowl. Set mixed seasonings aside.
  • Remove most of the silk while leaving 2 to 3 layers of husk on each ear of corn.
  • Cook corn on the preheated grill until husks are slightly charred, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, for 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool slightly. Remove husks carefully, leaving stems on as handles.
  • Squeeze 1/2 lime over each ear of corn. Sprinkle each with mixed seasonings to taste and top generously with Cotija cheese.

This recipe was a disaster! The corn was burnt and the toppings were bland.

I'm not a fan of roasted corn, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The corn was delicious and the toppings were flavorful.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm allergic to cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. I always have a bunch left over after a cookout, and this is a great way to use it up.

I didn't have any cotija cheese, so I used Parmesan instead. It was still delicious!

The corn was a little dry, but the toppings were delicious. I'll try roasting the corn for a shorter amount of time next time.

I've tried many roasted corn recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of spices and the roasting process gives the corn a delicious smoky flavor.
