Bobby Flay's Grilled Corn Salad with lime, Red Chili and Cotija

Grilled Corn Salad with Lime, Red Chili and Cotija

fresh corn, silks removed, husk

Canola oil

Salt and black pepper

creme fraiche

limes,

ancho chili powder

cilantro leaves

cotija cheese

Heat grill to high. Grill corn until charred on all sides, 10 or so minutes. Take off the grill and remove the kernels with a sharp knife. While you are cutting the corn, put a cast iron skillet on the grill to heat.

Add the corn and the remaining ingredients to the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until creamy and heated through. Serve with the steak.

Jennifer V. Is absolutely correct. I’ve been making this “esquites” for years with a little mayo and sour cream and no lime zest. Everyone raves about it. It’s great hot, or cold.

Absolutely delicious grilled corn salad. We really like Elota corn so this was perfect. The only ingredient I didn’t have was the crème fraiche. I substituted the Mexican Crema (sour cream) that I had on hand. My husband liked this recipe so much better than the last elota corn recipe he tried that had mayo in it and was too sweet (he doesn’t care for mayo). We both felt that Bobby’s version was superior (and I do like mayo)! <br />

This was really good, but too much lime! I had small limes too. I've ran into this with several of Bobby's recipes. I should know better by now. Don't get me wrong... I love me some lime and citrus, but if that's all you taste, it's not balanced.

Great flavors and you can prep ahead (grilling the corn, letting it cool, and then mixing all the ingredients that will go back into the pan ahead of time) and then set aside in the refrigerator.  Brought to room temperature and then popped into the hot pan while grilling some steaks.   It was perfect, not to spicy with the ancho chili which brought a fruitiness and additional smokiness to the corn. 

Pour this over grilled chicken and rice, very good

We are purists when it comes to fresh in season corn on the cob. Having said that, this is amazing!  Incredibly easy, great flavor. 

I made this for a dinner party with Trader Joe's frozen grilled corn.  It saved a huge step and left me free to hang out with my guests.  Everyone loved the bright, tangy flavors.  I cannot wait to make it again.

This was fantastic! Corn took longer to grill even on high. Even my picky 8 yo loved it! 

If you really want to make it better you would add butter and a little bit of mayonnaise , no crem ,cilantro  red chile powder and queso fresco less lime , dash of salt .. <br />
