Mexican Style Grilled Corn

[Daniel]

Am looking for a recipe, was hoping someone knows a good one... Made a good version last night with creme fraiche, mexican cheese, cayenne, and parm.. Also does someone know the name of this dish in Spanish..

Easy - grill the corn, slather with mayo, a few drops of lime, and sprinkle with chile powder - this is how you get them on the street... they are called elotes

there was a thread recently on this, but I can't find it now - oh wait, here it is: Mexi-corn

Personally, I leave off the cheese

I like to brush the corn with melted butter, grill it and dress with salt. pepper, fresh lime squeeze (essential), and finish with finely diced cilantro. The chili powder works well also.

I always like to toast my corn over my stove burner to give it a good roasted corn flavor. Then use it in corn pepper relishes and salsas or just eat it plain. I have family in Mexico and the mayo, cheese, chili and lime additions are the most common way the Mexicans add flavor to the bland hominy like corn they have in Mexico. With our sweet corn in the US I prefer it on it's own. I just can't see covering up that great flavor

Corn is simply grilled directly on charcoal; salt and red chilli powder is spread on it by a half cut lemon. Now a common sight throughout the year in India.

I grew up with Green Giant Mexicorn, and while it looked neat, it tasted just like niblets!

I glad to have all the above information about the real thing.
