Steps:
- Preheat a grill to high heat. Oil the grates well.
- Put the corn, scallions, jalapenos and bell pepper directly on the grates. Grill, turning, until charred on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes for the scallions, 5 to 8 minutes for the peppers and 8 to 10 minutes for the corn; set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, add the sour cream, mayo, chipotle chili powder, lime zest and juice and garlic and mix to combine.
- Slice the corn kernels from the cobs. Remove the ribs and seeds from the red pepper and cut into small dice. Chop the scallions and dice the jalapenos (seeds and ribs removed to taste). Put the corn, red pepper, jalapenos, scallions and beans in the bowl with the dressing and mix to combine while the veggies are still slightly warm. Sprinkle the Pecorino-Romano over the salad. Season with salt and pepper and add a dash of hot sauce if desired. Top with the cilantro and crispy bacon and serve immediately slightly warm, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the grill with all burners on high. Once preheated, adjust the temperature to medium high for direct grilling.
- Soak all 6 ears of corn in water to cover for 10 minutes. Remove the corn from the water and pat dry with paper towels. Brush the shucked corn on all sides with the olive oil and leave the other corn in the husk.
- Grill all the corn, turning occasionally, until the shucked corn is well browned and charred in places and the husks of the unshucked corn are dried out and charred in places, about 10 minutes.
- Remove all the corn from the grill and let rest until easy to handle, about 5 minutes. When you can handle the corn comfortably, shuck the unshucked cobs. Then, stand a cob on its flat end on a cutting board. Holding the cob steady, take a sharp knife and carefully cut the kernels off, sliding the knife down the cob from top to bottom. Rotate the cob, cutting off a section at a time. I usually do 5 turns per cob. Repeat with the remaining corn. Discard the cobs, transfer the kernels to a bowl, and mix with the melted butter.
- In a separate bowl, stir the mayonnaise, minced cilantro, lime zest and juice, garlic, chile powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper together until well mixed. Stir in the cheese and toss the buttered corn with the dressing. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Garnish with a little more grated cheese.
- Serve warm or cold; either way, reserve topping with the bacon crumbles until just before serving, or they will get limp. Garnish with the cilantro sprig and the lime wedges, if desired.

Steps:

- 2 Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cobs and add them to a medium bowl. Mix in the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and serrano. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, until flavors blend. (The salsa can be made up to 4 hours ahead.)

Mexican food is my grandmother's favorite. I wanted a perfect side for her legendary tacos, and this chile-lime grilled corn turned out to be just right. -Ashley Crainshaw, Shawnee, Kansas
