Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 dried guajillo chile peppers
1/2 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons ancho chile powder
4 tablespoons ground cumin
4 tablespoons whole coriander seed
2 tablespoons whole peppercorns
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Juice of 2 limes
8 ears corn on the cob
Juice of 3 limes
3 cups cotija cheese

Steps:

For the spice mix: Cut the tops off the guajillo chiles, shake out the seeds, put the chiles in a bowl, cover them with boiling water and let them soak for about 30 minutes to rehydrate.
Drain the chiles, then put them in a blender with the oil, ancho chile, cumin, coriander, peppercorns, salt, cinnamon and lime juice and blend until combined.
For the corn: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
Cut the corn in half and brush with the spice mix. Cook until charred in spots and grill-marked, turning halfway through, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle with lime juice and cotija cheese.
