Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ears of corn, husked
1 large shallot, thinly sliced into rings
1/2 red chile (such as Holland or Fresno), with seeds, thinly sliced into rings
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces fresh Cotija cheese or queso fresco, crumbled
1/4 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for medium heat. Cut kernels from 1 corn cob and toss with shallot, chile, and lime juice in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Brush remaining 3 ears of corn with 2 tablespoons oil and grill, turning occasionally, until very tender and charred in spots, 10-12 minutes. Let cool.
