Grilled Corn With Chili, Cheese, and Lime

| BY: and
Grilled Corn With Chili, Cheese, and Lime
and

Inspired by the delicious grilled Mexican street corn, or elote, we enjoy all over Los Angeles, we created this healthier version to spice up your next barbecue.

We skipped the mayonnaise, opting instead for a light coating of olive oil and just the right amount of fresh Mexican cheese.

A sprinkling of cayenne pepper (or chili powder) and a squeeze of fresh lime are the finishing touches that give our corn that authentic flavor.

When making elote, start with the freshest ears of sweet corn you can find, still wrapped in their husks if possible.

Why? As soon as corn is picked, the natural sugar starts to turn to starch, changing the flavor and making it tougher.

To help them retain moisture, store ears of corn in their husks in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator until you’re ready to put them on the grill.

Dreaming of tasting this delicious corn recipe, but don’t have a grill?

You can make it indoors by lightly coating the boiled ears of corn with olive oil and placing them under the broiler, turning frequently until the kernels turn golden brown.

Or if you prefer your corn off the cob, you can also make this dish in a cast-iron skillet.

Allow the boiled corn to cool enough so it’s easy to handle, then use a large chef’s knife to slice the kernels off the cob over a large bowl.

Add corn kernels to a heated skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, and cook, stirring frequently until the corn starts to brown. Stir in cheese, chili powder, and squeeze fresh lime juice into the skillet and serve.
