Flaming Hot Cheetos Grilled Corn
This hot cheetos grilled corn is amazing. Charred, smoky grilled corn slathered in cotija cheese mayo and rolled through crushed flaming hot cheetos. Yum!
Ingredients
- 6 ears of corn
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese, plus extra for sprinkling
- 1 lime, zest freshly grated (you can use the juice to spritz after)
- 2 cups flaming hot cheetos
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to the highest setting. Shuck the corn (I left the husk at the bottom for photos, but honestly, it’s messy to eat this way!). I don’t use olive oil or anything here - I find that it browns nicely on the grill and there is enough flavor with everything else!
- Place the corn on the grill grates and cook until charred and golden, rotating every few minutes. My corn takes 10 to 15 minutes total, maybe a bit less for smaller ears.
- While the corn is grilling, stir together the mayo, cotija cheese and lime zest.
- Place the cheetos in the bowl of your food processor and pulse until small crumbs remain (or place them in a sealed bag and crush them!). Place the crumbs on a plate that is large enough to roll the ears of corn in.
- Remove the corn from the grill and spread the cotija mayo (about 2 tablespoons each) all over the ears of corn. Roll the corn through the crushed cheetos. Sprinkle with extra cotija cheese. Serve immediately with fresh lime for spritzing!
