Elote (Mexican Corn on the Cob)<\/div>\n
Most American recipes use parmesan instead of the\u00a0authentic cotija.\u00a0I actually prefer it. Traditionally, you serve this with lime wedges to squeeze over the corn, but I skipped this because the accompanying dish was already loaded with lime juice. -Phil<\/em><\/em><\/em> <\/p>\n

ingredients:<\/p><\/div>\n

corn on the cob<\/div>\n
mayonnaise<\/div>\n
grated parmesan (or cotija) cheese<\/div>\n
butter (optional)<\/div>\n
chili powder<\/div>\n
salt<\/div>\n
lime wedges<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
1. Shuck corn and remove all silk.<\/div>\n
2. Grill if possible — a little charring is good — or broil at 500 degrees on a cookie sheet. With either method, turn\u00a0occasionally and\u00a0total cooking time is about 20 minutes, but this is\u00a0very<\/em>\u00a0forgiving. Anything from 15-25 is OK.<\/div>\n
3a. If using butter, spread very lightly on corn, turning cobs to apply fully.<\/div>\n
3b. If not using butter, sprinkle very lightly all over with salt.<\/div>\n
4. Dust lightly but all over with chili powder.<\/div>\n
5. Smear lightly all over with mayonnaise.<\/div>\n
6. Sprinkle all over with grated parmesan or cotija.<\/div>\n
7. Serve with lime wedge to squeeze over corn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Mexican chopped salad<\/div>\n
All proportions of vegetables (and what vegetables you use) are variable based on what you have at hand, without going overboard on the onion. -Phil<\/em><\/div>\n
Serves 6-8<\/p>\n

ingredients:
\n2 15oz cans black beans
\n1\/2 red onion
\n1\/2 to 1 lb jicama (1-2 cups chopped)
\n1 or 2 large tomatoes or 1 to 2 cups cherry tomatoes)
\n1\/2 cucumber
\n1\/2 bunch cilantro
\n(optional 1\/2 to 1 jalape\u00f1o pepper)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1. Wash and chop cilantro.<\/div>\n
2. Chop tomatoes,\u00a0cucumbers and jicama in 1\/4- to 1\/2-inch cubes<\/div>\n
3. Mince red onion<\/div>\n
4. Drain and rinse black beans.<\/div>\n
5. Toss all together in large serving bowl.<\/div>\n
6. Pour dressing (see below) over salad and toss again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Lemon-lime vinaigrette<\/div>\n
Don’t add too much oil. The dressing should be bright and citrusy tasting. -Phil

2. Juice lemon and lime.<\/div>\n
