Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients

  • 4 corn on the cobb
  • 3/4 cups mayo
  • 1/2 lime
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce finely minced
  • cotija cheese
  • tajin seasoning
  • cilantro, for garnishing optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F. and spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. 
  • While the air fryer preheats, prepare the chipotle mayo sauce. In a small bowl, combine the mayo, lime juice, and minced chipotle pepper. 
  • Place the corn in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway. 
  • Remove the corn from the air fryer and brush it with the chipotle mayo. Sprinkle some cotija cheese, cilantro, and tajin on top, and enjoy warm! 

Notes

  • If you want the corn to be really charred, cook for a few extra minutes.
  • Want a buttery taste? Brush the corn with a little bit of butter before brushing it with the chipotle mayo sauce.
  • If you don't have tajine seasoning on hand, use chipotle powder or chili powder instead.
  • For best results, use fresh sweet corn.
