Cooking Directions

  1. Prepare grill.
  2. Soak corn in husks in cold water 10 minutes. Drain corn and grill on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until husks are charred, about 10 minutes. Shuck corn and grill until kernels are browned in spots, about 10 minutes.
  3. While corn is grilling, in a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise and cayenne. Using the small teardrop-shaped holes on a four-sided grater grate cotija.
  4. Brush mayonnaise mixture onto hot corn and sprinkle with cojita.
  5. Serve corn on the cob with lime wedges.

Yield: 2 servings

3. Still Hungry?

These messy but irresistible ears of corn coated with cheese are a popular street snack in Mexico. For our recipe we used cotija, a crumbly, pungent, aged-curd cheese that can range in consistency from soft to very hard, depending on the brand. (We made ours with Los Fortales, a hard variety available at cheese shops and some specialty foods shops.) You can, however, substitute feta, which is more widely available. This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

    This recipie reminds me of a classy version of the Elotes that street vendors sell in Los Angeles. Really yummy!!! A little messy, but i think that\'s part of the appeal. The sour flavor of the lime compliments the sweet flavor of the corn so well in this dish. Try it out, you won\'t be disappointed!

    This was such a brilliant recipe!! I have been to Juarez, Mexico for several business trips and have had it there. Now that I know how to make it, this is magnificent. Great idea!!! A must to have when grilling. Your friends will love the recipe!
