Directions:
  1. Heat your grill to 425. We used a Traeger Grill.
  2. Brush the corn with a generous amount of Olive Oil on both sides.
  3. Grill for 10 - 15 minutes. Turning halfway through.
  4. While the corn is grilling, add the mayo, lemon zest, juice of the lemon, a pinch of salt, smoked paprika, chili powder and cilantro in a bowl. Mix together and set aside. *Typically Mexican Street Corn is made with Lime, but we were out so I used the lemon instead. Honestly, I didn't miss the lime. It was so good.

  6. Top the corn with Cotija cheese.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro. So yummy.
