Recipe by Michelle Bernstein Slathered with queso fresco and ancho chili powder — Mexican street-food style — this recipe for corn on the cob from Michelle Bernstein's Miami restaurant, Michy's, is sure to be the hit of your barbecue.

Ingredients

4 ear fresh corn 4 tbsp. softened unsalted butter 1 tbsp. chopped cilantro leaves 1 tsp. fresh lime juice 1/2 tsp. kosher salt Freshly ground pepper to taste 1 c. shredded or crumbled queso fresco or mild feta cheese Pinch of chipotle powder Pinch of ancho powder

Instructions

Soak corn in cold water for 1 hour. Preheat a gas grill or a ridged grill pan to medium, or prepare a charcoal grill, letting coals burn until covered with white ash. Grill corn, turning frequently, until the husks are charred, 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, put butter, cilantro, and lime juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and stir to incorporate the ingredients. Spread the butter mixture on a serving platter. Remove corn from grill and carefully peel back the husks. (Corn will be very hot!) Remove corn silk and, if desired, wrap some strands of husk around top of corn and knot them. Put the hot cobs on the buttered platter and roll to coat. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the ears, turning them to coat. Sprinkle with chipotle and ancho chili powders and a little extra cilantro. Serve immediately.
