Ole'

The beauty of Weight Watchers is the freedom to eat what you want...in moderation of course!  After a short visit to New York City to visit my best friend Lindsay, I was introduced to the most amazing, tantalizing, delicious vegetable I have ever put to my lips!  


We ventured downtown to Diablo Royale (189 West 10th Street).  Saddling up to the bar, I ordered two Patron Margaritas on the rocks with salt.  Sipping on complete happiness, Lindsay glanced over her shoulder to a table of cute boys and right when I thought she was going to say, "check out the blond one", she blurted out..."Is that corn"?!  We looked a bit harder and sure enough, it was the most perfect corn on the cob.  


Finally sitting down to our table for two, we immediately grabbed the menu and there it was...grilled corn.  Corn on the cob with lime mayo, cotija and sprinkled with cayenne.  Melt in your mouth, words cannot describe this heavenly Diablo specialty.  

For your convenience I have attached the recipe:

Mexican Corn!                 

         4 ears of corn

         3 tbsps. mayonnaise

         2 tsps. lime juice

         2 tbsps. cotija cheese 
     (Parmesan will also work)

         1/2 tsp. chili powder

         1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

         1/4 tsp. cumin

         1 pinch salt

Directions

If you are using a gas grill, set the temperature to medium. If you are using a charcoal barbecue, get the coals to the point that white ash is showing and the coals are glowing and are spread out in an even layer. Grill the corn for 12 minutes total. Continually move the corn so each side is grilled.

In a bowl whisk together the mayonnaise and lime juice. In a separate bowl mix together the cheese, chili powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, and salt.

Spread the mayonnaise mix over the corn. Sprinkle the cheese mix over the corn. 

Enjoy!
