2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped (you can substitute scallions if you prefer)
Instructions
Grill fresh corn on the cob on a grill pan on the stove for about 10 minutes over medium-low heat or on an outdoor grill.
(You can substitute frozen corn- add to a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil and allow to brown on each side.)
In a small bowl, add mayo, garlic, cilantro and cotija cheese and mix together. Add lime juice and stir well.
Remove corn from grill, allow to cool and use a knife to lightly trim the kernels off the cobs. Place kernels in a bowl and drizzle dressing over the top, mixing well.
Season with salt and pepper and paprika and serve with a little extra cheese or a lime slice on the side.
