GRILLED MEXICAN STREET CORN (ELOTES)

Ingredients

• 6 ears corn, shucked
• 1 T olive oil
• 1/2 C Cotija (queso fresco) cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 C Crema Mexicana
• 1/4 C sour cream
• 1/4 C cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
• 1 t adobo sauce
• 1 garlic clove, crushed and minced
• 1 lime, zested and juiced
• chili powder, for dusting

Instructions

1. Light your grill. You want it very hot. Brush the corn with the olive oil and set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Crema Mexicana, sour cream, cilantro, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, garlic, lime juice and 1 t lime zest. Add the Cotija and stir to combine.

3. When the grill is hot, place the corn directly over the hottest part of the grill, turning as needed, until cooked through and charred in spots. This will take 10 - 12 minutes.

4. Remove from grill and immediately brush each cob with the cheese mixture, evenly and generously, coating on all sides.

5. Place cobs on a serving platter and sprinkle with queso fresco and chopped cilantro. Dust with chili powder. Serve immediately.
