Grilled Mexican Corn
I have shucked many an ear of corn and eaten many a bushel full in my lifetime. My favorite way to eat it is grilled. Grilling corn gives it such a different taste that really brings out the flavor of the corn in a smokey way. It's even better when Shan puts her special Mexican spread on it with all the classic fiesta flavors of chile, cumin and lime. Give it a try when you're needing to impress the neighbors or family.more
