Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Husk the corn and remove any silk. Brush the ears of corn with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Grill the Corn

    Place the corn directly on the grill. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn is tender and has grill marks.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Queso

    While the corn is grilling, tear the Queso Oaxaca into smaller pieces and set aside.

  4. 4

    Chop the Toppings

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the cilantro.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the corn is done grilling, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle the torn Queso Oaxaca over the warm corn, allowing it to melt slightly.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Top with the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!
