GRILLED CORN WITH CHEESE, LIME AND CHILE (ELOTES)
Whole ears of corn are a classic street food in Mexico, where they are either grilled or boiled, then often dressed with some combination of lime, chile, mayonnaise and grated cheese. This grilled version calls for all of the above, which get mixed together into a creamy, bracing topping, and slathered all over the hot, sweet ears. It's not strictly traditional, but it does make it easier to assemble the corn and its dressing before serving. Or place the various topping in small bowls and let guests have the fun of garnishing their own. And if you don't have a grill, the broiler works too though watch the ears carefully so they don't burn.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh corn on the cob. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks.
- Soak the corn in cold water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to keep the kernels moist and prevent them from burning.
- Brush the corn with melted butter or olive oil before grilling. This will help to brown the kernels and give them a slightly crispy texture.
- Season the corn with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. Some popular options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Grill the corn over medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
- Serve the corn hot off the grill with your favorite toppings, such as butter, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
