  • 1/2 tbsp mayo
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • zest and juice of one lime

  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika or chili powder
  • 1 jalepeno pepper, diced
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Method
 

  1. preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Brush the corn with olive oil and grill for 2 minutes per side, or until char marks form. Remove from grill and set aside.

Notes

*Roast the jalapeño alongside the corn if you’d like.
 
Make this recipe vegan by omitting the cheese.
