Ok I love rain but I am officially tired of this constant rain in California right now. I saw blue skies the other day for a couple hours and my body rejoiced! Now I know this is what people in other states feel all the time and I swear I love the rain and so much patience but for once in my life, I never felt so happy to see sun and then realize how spoiled I normally am.
In any case, warm sunny weather normally gives me the ability to try out campfire meals on a grill before I go camping. This recipe actually came from something I normally make and my friends said “you should do this when we are camping”. What makes me so excited about this item is there are so many variations I can mess with!
Ingredients –
- Ears of corn (however many you are doing – for this I will do 4)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese
- Chili powder
- Lime
- Cilantro (optional)

Directions –
- Mix mayo, chili powder, cilantro and lime in a bowl until well blended.
- Rub generously over each ear of corn
- Sprinkle with cotija cheese
- Top with cayenne pepper
- Now here you can also mix it up on how to cook – grill corn before you smother it with ingridents or after. I personally like to prepare and then throw on grill but honestly up to you
- If you want to mix things up even more add other butter blends, herbs and spices!
