Ingredients

  • olive oil as needed
  • 8 ears corn shucked
  • 16- ounce bag Roasted Hatch Green Chile Peppers

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  2. Rub 7 of the ears of corn with oil and set them on the grill. Grill, turning often, until they are nicely charred and vibrant yellow in color. Remove from heat and cool.
  3. While the corn is cooking, lightly oil the cherry tomatoes and set them onto the grill. Cook until they are charred and start to soften, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Slice the kernels from all of the corn, including the uncooked cob, and add to a large mixing bowl along with the charred tomatoes.
  5. Coarsely chop the Hatch chiles and add to the bowl.
  6. Add cheese and cilantro and toss.
  7. Squeeze in lime juice and add vinegar. Toss.
  8. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper. Cotija can be a bit salty, so you may not need any.
  9. Serve!
