Incredible Mexican-Style Corn on the Cob

Incredible Mexican-Style Corn on the Cob

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ears corn, husked
  • A little salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise, I like Best Foods Light (Hellman’s)
  • 2 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
  • Tabasco sauce, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons finely shredded Cotija or Parmesan cheese, see shopping tips
  • 1 lime, quartered

Instructions
 

  • To Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. Coat corn with cooking spray (I love olive oil spray).  Grill corn, turning occasionally, until marked and tender, 8 to 12 minutes total.  Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
  • To Broil: Preheat broiler. Line a baking pan with foil. Coat corn with cooking spray. Broil for about 5-6 minutes until browned. Turn over and broil about 5 minutes more.  Sprinkle each with a little salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, yogurt, and a little Tabasco sauce, to taste. While the corn is still warm, spread each ear with 1 tablespoon of sauce.  Squeeze each with a little fresh lime juice and sprinkle each with ½ tablespoon Cotija or Parmesan cheese.  Season with a little chili powder over the corn and serve.
