Grilled Corn "Elote" Radiatori

Grilled Corn "Elote" Radiatori

Is there anything better than summer sweet corn? Grill it, coat it in cumin and chilies and top it with salty cheese. This dish is our ode to this classic Mexican street corn. You can easily omit the chorizo to keep it vegetarian. Eat it hot or serve it cold both ways are delicious. At our house we always make enough to enjoy it both ways because why choose.
