Housemade Tajin

Method

Roasting the Corn

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Husk the corn and remove all silk. Brush each ear of corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

  2. 2

    Roast the Corn

    Place the corn directly on the grill. Roast for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn is charred and tender. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.

Making the Coriander Aioli

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped coriander, lime juice, and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

  2. 4

    Chill the Aioli

    Cover the aioli and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Preparing the Housemade Tajin

  1. 5

    Mix Tajin Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine chili powder, salt, and lime zest. Mix until well combined.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 6

    Serve the Corn

    Once the corn has cooled slightly, spread a generous layer of coriander aioli over each ear of corn.

  2. 7

    Add Tajin and Queso

    Sprinkle the housemade tajin over the aioli-covered corn and then top with crumbled queso fresco.

  3. 8

    Garnish and Enjoy

    Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the corn. Enjoy your local sweet corn 'elote'!
