Chile-Spiked Grilled Corn Rolled in Cotija Cheese
- 6 ears of corn, shucked
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated cotija or Pecorino-Romano cheese (about 2 ounces)
- 2 teaspoons chile piquin
- Lime wedges, for serving
- Light a charcoal grill or preheat the oven to 500.
- In a large pot of boiling water, cook the corn until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
- Drain well.
- Grill the corn, turning frequently, until well-browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Alternatively, roast the corn on a baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes, turning the ears occasionally.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the creme fraiche.
- Attach corn holders to each ear of corn, or press a bamboo skewer through the centers.
- Generously brush the mayonnaise mixture all over the ears and sprinkle with the cheese and chile piquin.
- Serve right away, with lime wedges.
