Method

Grilling the Corn

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    Husk the fresh corn on the cob and remove all silk. Preheat your wood fire grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Grill the Corn

    Place the corn on the grill and roast, turning occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes until charred and cooked through. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Jalapeño

    While the corn is grilling, place the whole jalapeño pepper on the grill. Roast until charred and blistered, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and let cool.

Making Lime Crème Fraîche

  1. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine crème fraîche, lime juice, and lime zest. Stir until well mixed and creamy. Set aside.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 5

    Cut the Corn Off the Cob

    Once the corn has cooled, carefully cut the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife and place them in a serving bowl.

  2. 6

    Chop the Jalapeño

    Dice the roasted jalapeño, removing seeds if you prefer less heat, and add to the bowl with the corn.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Add chopped cilantro, crumbled cotija cheese, and chile pequin to the corn mixture. Drizzle with mayonnaise and mix gently.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the corn mixture in a large bowl accompanied by a side of flour tortilla chips for dipping.

  2. 9

    Garnish

    Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
