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.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup crème fraîche
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 canned chipotles in adobo sauce, seeded
- 6 ears corn, husked

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.
