CORN SALAD

Steps:

• For the corn: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Brush the corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked and browned, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• For the salad: Add the tomatoes, onions, pepper and jalapeno to a bowl. Pour over the olive oil and lime juice, sprinkle with a pinch salt and pepper and toss.
• Cut the corn off the cobs, leaving some in shards, then toss gently with the salad, keeping the shards intact. Sprinkle over the cilantro leaves and gently mix in.

MEXICAN SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing: Mix together the mayonnaise, milk, sour cream, parsley, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, hot sauce, garlic and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• For the salad: Prepare a grill pan or grill for medium-high heat. Grill the corn until nice and golden, with good grill marks on the kernels, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool a bit, then cut the kernels off the cobs.
• Add all the salad ingredients to a bowl in layers: first the lettuce, followed by the tomatoes, corn, red onions, cheese and tortilla chips.
• Pour the dressing into a small serving bowl and serve alongside the salad.

MEXICAN STREET CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Remove corn from cob using a sharp knife. You should have about 6 cups.
• Melt Country Crock® Spread in large non-stick skillet over high heat. Add corn and salt and cook until slightly charred, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Be careful not to overcrowd skillet or corn will steam. If necessary, char corn in 2 batches. Add jalapeno, garlic, and cumin and cook 1 minute.
• Stir in remaining ingredients. Serve warm or room temperature. Garnish with additional cilantro and Cotija cheese if desired.

STREET CORN

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.

CHICKEN STREET CORN SKILLET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix the chicken, corn, cream cheese, mayonnaise, green chiles, garlic, green onions, butter, chili powder, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup Cotija and 1/4 cup cilantro. Juice in 1 lime and mix well.
• Add the rice to a 10-inch ovenproof skillet or baking dish and spread to cover the bottom. Top with the chicken and corn mixture, spreading as needed. Top with the pepper jack cheese and a sprinkle of chili powder. Bake until bubbly and browned, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and top with the remaining 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1/4 cup Cotija and 1/4 cup cilantro. Cut the remaining 2 limes into wedges. Serve with the warmed tortillas, chips and lime wedges on the side, and with the Tomato Avocado Salad.
• Add the tomatoes, avocado, green onions, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to a bowl. Toss to combine. Garnish with the cilantro.

GRILLED MEXICAN STREET CORN SALAD

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.

MEXICAN STREET CORN (ELOTE)

Steps:

• Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the corn, turning three or four times, until it is slightly charred all over, about 10 minutes.
• Brush the corn with a layer of mayonnaise and sprinkle with chili powder, Cotija cheese and cilantro. Serve warm with lime wedges.

FRESH CORN CASSEROLE WITH RED BELL PEPPERS AND JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the corn from the husks. In a large, deep bowl, slice off the kernels of corn with a sharp knife. Turn the knife to the dull side and scrape the cob all the way down to remove all the bits of kernel and creamy milk inside. (I do this inside the bowl because it goes everywhere if you cut it on a board.)
• Add the red bell peppers, jalapenos, heavy cream, milk, salt to taste, a generous amount of pepper and butter and mix it well. Pour into a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Bake until thoroughly warmed through, 30 to 45 minutes.
