PREP TIME: 5 minutes
COOK TIME: 20 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 25 minutes
Ingredients
-
- 8 ears of corn (or however many you choose to make)
-
- 1-2 Tbsp olive oil for brushing corn
-
- 1/2 cup mayo
-
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
-
- 1/2 tsp habanero infused honey or regular and add some chili flakes to taste
-
- zest of one lime
-
- juice of 1/2 lime
-
- 1/4 tsp salt + extra
-
- 2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
Instructions
-
- Preheat grill to medium.
-
- Brush or rub shucked corn with olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt to season.
-
- Grill corn for 20-25 minutes, turning it every 5 minutes, until slightly charred.
-
- Meanwhile combine mayo, habanero honey, chili powder, cilantro, honey, lime zest, juice and 1/4 tsp salt and add to a blender. You could mix it all by hand, but I find a blender does the job better.
