Elotes (Mexican Street Corn)

Elotes

Corn on the cob
EVOO or butter
mayonnaise
cotija cheese, crumbled
cilantro, chopped
chili powder
        Shuck the corn and remove all the silk threads.  Cook the corn on the grill, brush with either EVOO or melted butter and turn it after about 3 minutes.  I only cook it for about 9 minutes total.  I like my corn kernels still firm not soft or mushy. Remove it from the grill and immediately spread a thin layer of mayo on the corn.  Sprinkle with the cotija, then the cilantro and finally sprinkle on a little chili powder.
