ELOTES (MEXICAN GRILLED CORN)
4 servings

This is one of our favorite corn dishes. For a less messy eating experience, simply cut the kernels off the grilled ears, toss in a bowl with the other ingredients, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro (you may call the dish esquites).

Prepare with 4 ears of corn:

  • Grilled, Roasted, or Broiled Corn II

When the corn is cooked, transfer to a platter. Spread on each ear of corn:

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or Mexican crema (½ cup total)

Roll the corn in:

  • Finely crumbled Cotija or feta cheese, or finely grated Parmesan

Season to taste with:

  • Chile powder
  • Lime juice
  • Salt
