Instructions

  1. Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure .

  2. Put parmesan in a medium bowl and add olive oil in a slow stream, whisking. Whisk in lime juice, garlic, chipotles, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

  4. Peel avocados and thinly slice. Cut corn kernels from cobs.

  5. Toss romaine with dressing and serve topped with avocado and corn.
