Best 8 Roasted Corn With Chile Elotes Asados Con Chile Recipes

ROASTED CORN WITH FOUR-CHILE BUTTER

Steps:

• Carefully roast the chile peppers over the flame of your stovetop, on a grill or under the broiler. Using tongs, flip and move them around until their skins are completely charred. Transfer the chiles to a resealable plastic bag, seal the bag and let them steam for 10 minutes. Peel, seed and dice the chiles; set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the corn on a baking sheet, brush with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning halfway through, until cooked, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the diced chiles, chili powder, lime zest and juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper and stir. Cook on low for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• Transfer the corn to a serving platter (or a foil pan with a cover if transporting) and pour the chili butter over the corn. To serve, garnish with the chopped cilantro.

ELOTES ASADOS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Put the corn in their husks on the grill grate over direct heat. Cover the grill and cook, uncovering the grill and rotating the corn every 5 minutes or so, until the husks are evenly charred, about 15 minutes total.
• Alternatively, you can grill the corn on the stovetop. Heat a large cast-iron pan or grill over medium-high heat until very hot and smoking, about 5 minutes. Working in batches depending on the size of your pan or grill, put the corn in their husks on the hot pan. Cover the pan with a lid; you can also use a large skillet to cover it. Cook, uncovering the pan and rotating the corn every 5 minutes or so, until the husks are evenly charred, about 20 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, combine the crema, mayonnaise and lime juice in a medium bowl until smooth. Thin with 1 tablespoon of water if needed. Cover and chill the crema mixture until ready to serve.
• Pull back the corn husks and silks, leaving the husks attached to the base of the cobs. Using a pastry brush or a butter knife, spread the crema mixture on the corn. Transfer the corn to a platter, sprinkle generously with the Cotija on all sides and season with salt. Serve with reserved lime wedges for squeezing over the corn.

CORN WITH ROASTED CHILES, CREME FRAICHE, COTIJA CHEESE

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Cut poblano and serrano peppers in 1/2 from top to bottom; remove stems, seeds, and ribs. Place peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins. Dice peppers.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and serrano pepper; saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add corn, red pepper, and poblano pepper. Saute until corn is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Season vegetable mixture with salt and pepper.
• Stir lime juice, butter, creme fraiche, and cilantro into the vegetable mixture. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with Cotija cheese.

GRILLED CORN WITH CHEESE, LIME AND CHILE (ELOTES)

Steps:

• Heat your grill to medium-high. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, zest of 1 lime, chile powder, salt and pepper.
• Slather hot corn with mayonnaise mixture and sprinkle with cheese and cilantro. Cut limes into wedges and serve alongside corn.

CHILI CON ELOTE (CHILI WITH CORN)

Steps:

• Heat a heavy dutch oven over med-high heat.
• Cook the bacon until done but not crisp.
• Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel.
• Pour off and save all but 3 TBS of the grease.
• Place the flour and the first of the salt and pepper in a bag, add the beef, 1/3 at a time, shake to coat.
• Brown the beef, 1/3 at a time (don't crowd the pan).
• Drain on a paper towel.
• Wipe the pan and regrease between each batch.
• Wipe the pan, place on the heat; add 3 TBS bacon grease.
• Saute (stir fry) the onions until almost translucent.
• Add the garlic and chilies.
• Saute until the onions are golden but not yet brown.
• Add all of the ingredients except the Masa Harina and the corn; mix well.
• Return the bacon and beef to the pot.
• Cover and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 2 hours.
• Mix the Masa Harina with 1/2 cup of cold water, add to the pot, stir well.
• Cook another 1/2 hour to thicken.
• Place 1 cup of corn in each bowl and top with chili. (That's all the cooking the corn gets, it's just lightly steamed). Serve with a loose leaf lettuce salad, dressed with lime juice and hot, buttered, corn tortillas.

CHOCLO OR ELOTE ASADO

Steps:

• Start a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot, and the rack no more than 4 inches from the heat source. Peel back the husks of the corn without removing them and remove the silks. Smooth the husks back into place, but don't worry if they don't completely cover the kernels.
• When the grill is ready, grill the corn, turning occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes. As the ears start to brown, carefully peel back the husks. Coat the corn with the butter and return to the grill with the husks peeled back. Grill, turning occasionally, until nicely browned-some of the kernels will blacken, and that's fine-another 5 to 10 minutes.
• Squeeze lime juice on the corn, sprinkle with chile powder, and serve immediately.
• Omit the lime juice. After sprinkling with chile powder, coat with Mexican crema, or thinned sour cream, about 1 tablespoon per person, and sprinkle with grated cotija cheese, about 2 tablespoons per person.

CHILI CON ELOTE (CHILI WITH CORN)

• Mash half of the beans and add both the mashed and the whole beans to the pan.
• Stir and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Serve.
