Instructions

Step 1:

Cook your corn and let it cool until you can handle it with your hands. Cut the bottom and top.

Step 2:

Insert the skewers into each of your corn.

Step 3:

On a large plate, add your two cups of cojita cheese and scatter. Add the melted butter and mayo into two separate bowls.

Step 4:

Get one corn and brush it with melted butter. Be sure to brush every nook and cranny. After the butter, grab a spatula and cover the whole corn. This brings outstanding flavor with the sweetness of the corn and acts as a binder to hold the cheese on top.

Step 5:

Coat it with the cojita cheese all the way around, then dust it with chili powder. Repeat with the remaining corn.

Step 6:

Serve the corn on a plate and enjoy it with your family and friends!
