Make the sauce

  • In a bowl, mix the mayo, minced garlic, and chipotle pepper until all ingredients are combined.
  • In a separate bowl, crumble up the queso fresco or cotija cheese. Be sure to use a shallow bowl so you can roll the corn in it.

Finishing the dish

  • Sprinkle the corn with more chipotle pepper. Squeeze fresh lime juice over top. Then garnish with diced cilantro.
