Oaxacan Grilled Corn

The other day I was flipping through my new All*You magazine and came across a picture of grilled corn topped with something that looked amazing! I quickly found the recipe, read it, and then had second thoughts. The ingredients were insane to me. Corn, mayonnaise, chili powder, Parmesan cheese and limes…you tell me, doesn’t that sound crazy/borderline gross!?! I’m the typical butter on corn kinda gal!…I think that my husband is crazy for putting peanut butter on his corn!

Anyway, after thinking about it for a while and gazing at the husks of corn that I had just bought the day before at the Farmer’s Market, I decided to give it a try for dinner. I was scared at first but I am SO glad that I did! Lover Boy and I LOVED IT!!!!

I know that this recipe sounds so odd but really it is such a fun twist on your usual corn on the cob.

I really hope that you can muster up the courage to give this a try! 🙂
