Use a pure ground chile that has some kick to it, such as Mexicanchile piquín, to counterpoint the sweet grilled corn and the creamy coating. If you can't find the chile, use 1 teaspoon paprika mixed with 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt.Delicious, Quick Side Dishes

  • Grill the corn, turning frequently, until well-browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Alternatively, roast the corn on a baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes, turning the ears occasionally.

  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the crème fraîche.

  • Attach corn holders to each ear of corn, or press a bamboo skewer through the centers. Generously brush the mayonnaise mixture all over the ears and sprinkle with the cheese andchile piquín. Serve right away, with lime wedges.
