Mexican Grilled Corn


Street vendors across Mexico sell this style of roasted or grilled corn—topped with mayonnaise, chili powder and cheese. You can serve the unadorned corn on a platter with small bowls of the sauce, cheese and lime on the side so everyone can make their own. This recipe makes 4 servings. It's the bomb. Our friend tonight said, "This is the best corn I've ever had."

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon paprika powder
4 ears corn, husked
4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1 lime, quartered

PREPARATION
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Combine mayonnaise and yogurt in a small bowl.
Grill corn, turning occasionally, until marked and tender, 8 to 12 minutes total. Spread each ear with 1 tablespoon of the sauce and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Parmesan and paprika. Serve with lime wedges.
