Elotes

From 'The Road to Mexico' by Rick Stein
 
Elotes Don't settle for standard corn on the cob, spice it up Mexican style!

Ingredients
  • 4 corn cobs, outer husks and silks removed
  • Oil, for brushing
  • 1 lime, plus extra wedges
  • 3-4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 50g Lancashire or feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • Salt, to taste
 
Recipe
  1. Heat your barbecue and brush the corn cobs with a little oil.
  2. Grill them over white-hot coals for 7-8 minutes, turning frequently with tongs until they’re tender and with a few brown, charred spots.
  3. Squeeze lime juice over the cooked cobs, then smother them in mayonnaise and crumbled cheese.
  4. Finish with a sprinkle of chilli powder and season with salt, if needed.
  5. Eat straight away with extra lime wedges.
