Grilled corn is always a treat when it’s in season, but Mexican street corn—a popular snack sold by street vendors—takes this favourite to the next level. And you don’t have to wait too long. Known as elote, this well-spiced, creamy, cheesy version is ready in just 30 minutes. We used crumbled feta in this recipe since it's easy to find but finely shredded cotija is what's traditionally used. It’s a mild, salty, crumbly cheese similar to feta. If you’re not a fan of spicy flavours, reduce or omit the chilli powder.
