CORN CON QUESO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the butter, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, cilantro, salt and pepper, to taste.

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB WITH GARLIC BUTTER, FRESH LIME, AND QUESO FRESCO

Steps:

• Make the garlic butter:
• Combine the butter and garlic in a food processor or with a mixer until smooth. (To mix by hand, let the butter get very soft, then beat in the garlic, finely minced, with a large wooden spoon.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. (The garlic butter can be made in advance, covered, and kept refrigerated up to 2 days, or frozen for a week. Bring to cool room temperature before serving.)
• Make the corn:
• 1. Heat your grill to high.
• 2. Place the corn on the grill, close the grill hood, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until steamed through and hot but still crisp (test by carefully piercing with a knife). Unwrap the husks from the corn and immediately spread or brush with garlic butter.
• 3. Squeeze the limes on top and and sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.

MEXICAN STREET CORN RECIPE

Steps:

• To prep the corn: Fold the husk of each corn back leaf by leaf and tie them with kitchen twine. Lightly brush corn on the cub with oil.
• Heat a grill pan or an outdoor grill. Grill corn, turning occasionally until it is browned in spots. Keep an eye on it as this happens rather quickly.
• To make the sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, chile powder, and lime juice in a bowl.
• Brush each grilled corn the mayo mixture and sprinkle with cotija cheese. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
• To prep the corn: Cut the corn off the cob. I used 6 ears to get about 4 1/2 cups. Alternatively, you can also use canned corn or frozen corn. If using frozen, you do not need to thaw it out.
• Sauté corn: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the corn, and stirring frequently, sauté for 5-7 minutes until it starts to char. If you are using frozen corn, you might need to cook a few minutes longer. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Make the sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, chile powder, and lime juice in a bowl.
• Assemble: Add in the mayo mixture into the sauteed corn. Give it a mix. Stir in the cotija cheese and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve in small bowls with wedges of lime on the side.

CORN ON THE COB WITH CHILIES, QUESO FRESCO AND LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Soak the corn in cold water for 1 hour. Prepare the grill. Put the soaked cobs on the hot grill and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, turning frequently.
• While the corn is grilling, make the lime butter. In a small bowl, add the butter, lime juice, tarragon and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well and spread onto a large plate. Take the corn off the grill and carefully peel back the husks (they will be hot). Remove the corn silk and tie the husks in a knot so you can hold onto it like a handle. Roll the corn in the butter. Top with a good amount of the queso fresco and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Serve immediately.
• For the spice mixture, combine all ingredients.

MEXICAN CORN ON THE COB (ELOTE)

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Grill corn until hot and lightly charred all over, 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the temperature of the grill. Roll the ears in melted butter, then spread evenly with mayonnaise. Sprinkle with cotija cheese and serve with a lime wedge.

RAJAS CON CREMA, ELOTE, Y QUESO (CREAMY POBLANO PEPPERS AND SWEET CORN)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and add poblano peppers. Brush peppers with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
• Roast poblano peppers in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; flip and continue roasting until skin is charred and flesh is soft, about 20 minutes more.
• Place roasted peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let steam for 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully remove plastic wrap and peel the skins from the peppers and remove seeds and stems. Cut peppers into strips.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil; cook corn kernels until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion until soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Add poblano pepper strips and corn; season with chicken bouillon granules and cook for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in cream and manchego cheese; simmer until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
