Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Husk the corn and remove all silk threads. Rinse the corn under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Brush each ear of corn with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the corn with salt and black pepper, turning them to cover all sides.
Place the corn on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the corn is evenly charred on all sides.
While the corn is charring, chop the cilantro finely and set aside.
Once charred to your liking, remove the corn from the grill and place on a serving platter.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the charred corn. Be careful to distribute the juice evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the corn as a garnish.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
