GRILLED CORN WITH CHEESE, LIME AND CHILE (ELOTES)
Whole ears of corn are a classic street food in Mexico, where they are either grilled or boiled, then often dressed with some combination of lime, chile, mayonnaise and grated cheese. This grilled version calls for all of the above, which get mixed together into a creamy, bracing topping, and slathered all over the hot, sweet ears. It's not strictly traditional, but it does make it easier to assemble the corn and its dressing before serving. Or place the various topping in small bowls and let guests have the fun of garnishing their own. And if you don't have a grill, the broiler works too though watch the ears carefully so they don't burn.

MEXICAN GRILLED CORN

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°. Roast unhusked corn on a baking sheet, turning occasionally, until heated through and crisp-tender, about 15 minutes. Let cool. Shuck corn and cut kernels from cobs. Discard cobs.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add corn kernels and sauté until heated through and light-golden in spots, 3-5 minutes. Add butter; stir until melted.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer corn to a large wide bowl or deep platter; sprinkle jalapeño and crushed red pepper flakes over. Squeeze lime wedges over; sprinkle with cheese, chives, and lime zest.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh corn on the cob. Avoid corn that has been sitting in the refrigerator for more than a few days.
- To prepare the corn, remove the husks and silks. Then, rinse the corn under cold water.
- You can grill the corn directly on the grill grates, or you can wrap it in foil first. If you wrap the corn in foil, it will cook more evenly and be more tender.
- Be sure to grill the corn over medium heat. This will help to prevent the corn from burning.
- Cook the corn for 10-12 minutes, or until it is tender. You can check the doneness of the corn by piercing it with a knife. If the knife goes through easily, the corn is done.
- Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, spread the butter and sprinkle the cheese, lime juice, and chili powder over the corn.
Conclusion:
Grilled corn on the cob is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a dish that everyone will love. So, next time you're grilling, be sure to add some corn on the cob to the menu. You won't be disappointed!
