Mexican-Style Grilled Corn

Serves 6
Time 15 min
In a nod to the corn-on-the-cob often served by street vendors in Mexico, sweet corn is brushed with a smoky chipotle spread before grilling, and then finished with crumbled cheese, cayenne and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Method

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.

Meanwhile, put creme fraiche, mayonnaise, salt and chipotles in adobo in a food processor and pulse just until smooth; transfer to a bowl.

Generously brush mixture on corn and grill, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown, 7 to 9 minutes.

Brush remaining creme fraiche mixture on corn, then sprinkle all over with queso fresco and cayenne.

Serve with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the top.
