Instrucciones

Grill Corn

Coat corn with cooking spray. For a charcoal grill, grill corn on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 12 to 16 minutes or just until tender, turning frequently. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place corn on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)

Remove Kernels

Remove corn from grill. When cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cobs. (You should have about 2 cups kernels.)

Mix Vegetables

In large bowl combine corn kernels, sweet pepper, red onion, chile pepper, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, oil, salt, and black pepper. Cover and chill at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

Finish and Serve

Before serving stir in half of the Cotija (1/4 cup). Sprinkle top with remaining cheese. If you like, garnish with lime wedges. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 4 hours.
