Instructions

1 ✓

Boil the corn.

Tip: Fresh corn silk should be moist and silky, not dry.
2 ✓

Finely chop the cilantro (including the stems, they have the most flavor!).

Tip: Use a sharp knife so you don't bruise the leaves, preventing them from turning brown.
3 ✓

Brush the corn with mayonnaise and roll in the cheese.

Tip: The mayonnaise ensures the herbs stick as well.
4 ✓

Sprinkle with chili and thickly with fresh cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over it.

Tip: The acidity of the lime and the essential oils of the cilantro explode on the taste buds together.

Why do some people hate cilantro?
