OVEN ROASTED CHILE RELLENO WITH CHIPOTLE ASADO SAUCE
Steps:
- To make the Chile Relleno: Preheat oven to "broil" and roast the chiles until skin blackens, making sure to turn frequently. Remove chiles from the oven and place into a stainless steel mixing bowl. Peel the outer skin, being careful not to tear the flesh of the chile. With a sharp paring knife, make a long slit the length of each chile and then gently remove and discard all of the seeds. Set the chiles aside while you make the filling.
- Heat the oil in a 4 quart saucepan over medium high heat and saute the onion until translucent. Add quinoa and toast for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add salt, pepper, and water to cover about 2 inches over quinoa. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until water is absorbed and quinoa is tender. Turn out onto a baking sheet and allow to cool. In a clean pan, saute the mushrooms in butter over high heat. Season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper and allow to cool. In a bowl, combine the cooled quinoa and mushrooms with asadero cheese, eggs, thyme leaves, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stuff each of the chiles with the filling mixture until they are very full and then set aside while you make the sauce.
- To make the Asado Sauce: Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
- Quarter the tomatoes and then place into a stainless steel mixing bowl and combine with the onions, garlic, oil, salt, pepper, and thyme. Turn onto a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven about 15 to 20 minutes or until the tomatoes and onion start to turn black. Remove from the oven and process mixture in a food processor, working in batches if necessary. In a 4-quart saucepan, combine the processed onion-tomato mixture with the chipotles and heavy cream and heat over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and keep the sauce warm until you're ready to serve.
- To serve: Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the stuffed chiles into the oven and roast for 20 minutes or until heated through. Ladle enough of the warm asado sauce on 4 dinner plates to form large pools and then place 1 chile relleno on each plate and serve.
ELOTES ASADOS
Grilled street-style corn is a staple all over Mexico. You will often see the corn being grilled in its husks over fire--but you can achieve great results on a stovetop. This recipe offers options for each. In both versions, you cook the corn in its husks to develop that smoky and sweet flavor that goes so well with creamy mayo, sour cream and salty Cotija cheese, making it one of the most delicious street foods you can find.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
- Put the corn in their husks on the grill grate over direct heat. Cover the grill and cook, uncovering the grill and rotating the corn every 5 minutes or so, until the husks are evenly charred, about 15 minutes total.
- Alternatively, you can grill the corn on the stovetop. Heat a large cast-iron pan or grill over medium-high heat until very hot and smoking, about 5 minutes. Working in batches depending on the size of your pan or grill, put the corn in their husks on the hot pan. Cover the pan with a lid; you can also use a large skillet to cover it. Cook, uncovering the pan and rotating the corn every 5 minutes or so, until the husks are evenly charred, about 20 minutes total.
- Meanwhile, combine the crema, mayonnaise and lime juice in a medium bowl until smooth. Thin with 1 tablespoon of water if needed. Cover and chill the crema mixture until ready to serve.
- Pull back the corn husks and silks, leaving the husks attached to the base of the cobs. Using a pastry brush or a butter knife, spread the crema mixture on the corn. Transfer the corn to a platter, sprinkle generously with the Cotija on all sides and season with salt. Serve with reserved lime wedges for squeezing over the corn.
COPYCAT CHILI'S ROASTED STREET CORN RECIPE BY TASTY
The secret to Chili's roasted street corn is the charred exterior. Without a grill, Katie improvised and roasted the corn in the oven to achieve similar results, then slathered the cob with creamy, spicy mayo and topped it with Cotija cheese and cilantro. If you don't have Cotija, you can substitute grated Parmesan cheese.

TAMALES CON ELOTE Y CHILE POBLANO (TAMALES WITH CORN AND POBLANO CHILES)
I long for tamales de elote. But our Mexican corn cannot be swapped with US sweet corn, so this tamale recipe uses regular masa with sweet corn added.

CHILI CON ELOTE (CHILI WITH CORN)
I claim this one is mine. (It bears no resemblance to what I started off with several decades ago). As with most chili, soup, stew, or sauce it's a lot better when made the day before and reheated.

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.
