This salad is inspired by elote, the Mexican street food snack of corn-on-the-cob slathered in mayonnaise, rolled in cheese, and doused in hot sauce. I like to grill the corn for my salad, which gives it a slight char and a little more texture, but you can also make the salad with boiled corn; the smoked paprika still gives the salad some nice smoky flavor. If you can’t find cortija cheese, substitute crumbled queso fresco or feta.
Lovers of traditional elote: Please note that this is definitely inspired by the original. That’s one of the reasons I love cooking: You can be as interpretive as you like at any given moment.
6 ears corn, shucked
2 tbsp canola oil
1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
