Corn Con Cotija (Courtesy of Martine Garcia)
- 6 ears of fresh, ripe sweet corn (corn should be eaten on the day it is picked)
- 1 cup Mexican sour cream or more to taste
- 4 ounces cotija grated on the fine side of a 4-sided grater (about 1 1/2 cups) or more to taste
- The corn may be boiled, in which case remove the husks, place corn in a pot of rapidly boiling water and remove to a warm platter after 5 minutes.
- Then cover with a towel.
- Or it may be roasted, in which case remove the outer husk, brush the ears with cooking oil and place them beneath a preheated broiler and broil 3 inches from the heat source, turning from time to time, until the kernels begin to brown, about 15 minutes in all.
- When corn is cool enough to be handled, spread it with sour cream, then roll in grated cotija.
