STREET CORN IN A BOWL

Ingredienser

2 large ears corn, husked

2 tablespoons Chipotle Crema (this page)

6 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced

½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for serving

½ serrano chile, thinly sliced

1 garlic clove, minced

Juice of 1 lime

1 cup freshly popped popcorn

¼ cup crumbled Cotija cheese

Vejledning

Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat.

Grill the husked corn, turning the ears every few minutes, until the kernels are blistered and the color has gone from pale to bright yellow. Let the corn cool, and then slice the kernels off the cobs.

In a medium bowl, combine the grilled corn, Chipotle Crema, scallions, cilantro, serrano, garlic, and lime juice and mix well. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the popcorn, Cotija, and more cilantro.

Notater

This dish has all the flavors of elote but involves more vegetables and a little less Chipotle Crema, making it a bit healthier. The sprinkling of popcorn is a fun way of adding flavor and some crunchy texture without too much fat.
