Roasted Corn with Chile: Elotes Asados con Chile
6 fresh ears corn (husks on)
1/2 cup Jalapeno Mayonnaise, recipe follows
3 cups finely shredded queso fresco
2 1/2 tablespoons Guajillo Chile Powder, recipe follows
Preheat a grill or grill pan. Grill the corn, turning frequently, to avoid over charring, about 10 minutes.
Let the corn cool just enough to handle and peel back the husks, leaving them attached at the bottom. (The husks are going to serve as handles when eating the corn.) Remove the corn silk and generously spread the ears with mayonnaise. Sprinkle the corn with the cheese and chile powder. Serve immediately.
Jalapeno Mayonnaise:
2 cloves garlic
1 small jalapeno pepper
2 limes, juiced
2 egg yolks with a little white*
Kosher salt
2 cups vegetable oil
In a food processor, blend the garlic, jalapeno, and lime. Add the egg and salt, to taste. While the motor is running, drizzle in the oil until a smooth sauce is formed. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Yield: about 2 cups
Guajillo Chile Powder:
4 guajillo chiles, seeded
3 chiles de arbol
Kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Put the chiles on a small baking sheet and bake until browned, about 3 minutes. Let cool.
In a clean coffee or spice grinder, finely grind the chiles and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the salt and use as desired.
Yield: 2 1/2 tablespoons

It´s called "elote" when it´s the corncob served on the stick, and "esquites" when it´s served in a bowl. Esquites also have an extra ingredient, epazote, which is a flavorful herb that is also used when making Mexican pot beans. Esquites also normally do not have mayo.

I always see it advertized as "elotes." Then I embargo it! Most of those guys riding around on their three-wheeled bicycles selling it don't have a permit from the health dept to do it! And the mayo will be like 90 degrees.
