Hot off the grill, charred sweet corn gets slathered in tangy lime mayonnaise and topped with extra-large crunchy quicos, or corn nuts, in des Jardins’ version of elote. For a plated version, cut the kernels from the cobs and toss with lime mayo and quicos, then scoop and serve.

  • Place corn on oiled grill grates, positioning husks over edge of grill to prevent burning. Grill, uncovered, turning occasionally, until corn is tender and slightly charred, 6 to 8 minutes.
