Grilled Corn With Cheese Lime And Chile Elotes Food

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.

Whether raw or cooked, corn on the cob doesn't require much to make it taste absolutely delicious. Here, we combine reduced-fat mayonnaise, lime juice, and chili powder and brush it on grilled corn, then sprinkle on finely grated feta cheese for the finishing touch.

There's no tidy way to eat corn on the cob. So you might as well lean in and slather it with some spiced crema and top it with cheese, cilantro, and more!
