Instructions

Preheat grill to approximately 400 degrees.
Put the corn, half the cheese, and tablespoon of the chopped cilantro aside. Mix together all the remaining ingredients together in a medium sized mixing bowl. Cover bowl and store in the refrigerator while you’re grilling the corn.
Place shucked corn cobs directly onto lightly oiled grill grates. Grill corn for 10 to 15 minutes, turning every couple of minutes, until all sides are showing brown-to-black grill marks. (Grilling is preferred but corn can also be boiled.)
Remove corn from grill. Brush or spoon the sauce around all sides of each corn cob. Sprinkle corn with reserved cheese and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
