Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
4 ears corn
olive oil
¼ cup butter, softened
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp Ancho Chile powder (chile powder and cayenne powder together works too)
salt to taste
1½ cups crumbled Cotija Cheese or Queso Fresco (Parmesan works too in a pinch)
1 lime
1 bunch cilantro
Directions:
Directions:
* Fire up the grill and crank it up on high. While grill is heating, in a bowl mix mayo, butter, Ancho Chile powder (or substitute, you just want some zip to it really kick it up a notch), and salt to taste.
* Cut your limes into wedges. (Maybe use the limes and salt and take a shot of tequila I don't know I'm not the Chef you are so that's your call).
* Next you are going to want to remove the husks from your corn. Take it outside or it'll get everywhere or don't, again you’re the Chef not me.
* Break out that cilantro and chop it up, no need to go crazy just chop it up.
* Now you want to brush some of that olive oil on the ears of corn. You don't need a lot just enough so they don't stick to the grill. Head back to the grill and toss those bad boys on there. You are going to want to stay close and turn often; should take about 10 minutes or until corn is cooked all the way thru and they have some nice char on there. Pluck those suckers off the grill and get ready for the show.
* Now take your mayo, butter, and seasoning mixture and spread it on the ears. Also you can put the sauce on a plate and roll the ears in it, your call Chef. Go ahead and sprinkle some of that cheese right on top along with some cilantro, use how ever much you’re feeling. Grab some lime wedges and squeeze the juice all over, make it rain. Finally you are ready to go.
