Elotes

6 to 8 medium ears sweet corn, husks removed

½ cup Mexican crema, or sour cream

½ cup mayonnaise

½ cup chopped cilantro

1 clove garlic, minced

¼ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper, to taste

2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest, from 1 lime

2 tablespoons lime juice, from 1 lime

½ cup cotija cheese, crumbled

Lime wedges, to serve

  1. Heat grill to 400ºF and clean grates once warmed.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the crema, mayonnaise, cilantro, garlic, chipotle pepper, lime zest and lime juice. Taste and season the mixture with salt if needed. (Crema has a little salt already, so add extra judiciously.) Set aside.
  3. Place the husked corn directly onto grill grates. Grill the corn for about 3 minutes, undisturbed, or until kernels begin to turn golden brown and look charred. Turn over and repeat. When all sides are browned, remove from the grill onto a plate.
  4. Using a brush or a spoon, coat each ear of corn with the crema mixture. Sprinkle with crumbled cojita cheese. Sprinkle with additional chipotle pepper, if desired. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges.
