Grilled Corn with Lime, Cayenne, and Cheese

Yield: 
4 Servings
Ingredients: 

4 ears of corn
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
2 ounces finely grated Cotija or feta cheese

Note: Cotija=queso anejada. This is a sharp, salty white grating cheese that softens but doesn't melt when heated. Cacique is a well-known brand. Can be found in Hispanic markets or grocery stores. Substitutes: Parmesan OR Romano OR queso blanco OR feta cheese. (Source: Cook's Thesaurus)

Instructions: 

Combine the cheese and chili powder. Place cheese mixture in a shallow dish that is at least as long as the corn.

Place corn on the grill, rotating corn so you cook on all sides, for approximately 10-15 minutes total. Remove from grill. Brush the corn lime juice then roll the cobs in the cheese mixture (or sprinkle on top), and serve with added lime wedges.
