This simple dish, sold by street vendors in Mexico, tastes amazing–grilled ears of sweet corn spread with cayenne-spiked mayo and rolled in cotija cheese. And it’s easy to prepare at home. To quickly grate the cheese, place small chunks in a food processor and pulse until very fine. If you can’t find cotija, crumbled feta is a good substitute.
