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
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
Prepare the Queso
While the corn is grilling, tear the Queso Oaxaca into smaller pieces and set aside.
4
Chop the Toppings
Halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the cilantro.
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
Garnish and Serve
Top with the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!
