Preparation
- The corn may be boiled, in which case remove the husks, place corn in a pot of rapidly boiling water and remove to a warm platter after 5 minutes. Then cover with a towel. Or it may be roasted, in which case remove the outer husk, brush the ears with cooking oil and place them beneath a preheated broiler and broil 3 inches from the heat source, turning from time to time, until the kernels begin to brown, about 15 minutes in all.
- When corn is cool enough to be handled, spread it with sour cream, then roll in grated cotija.
- Supermarket sour cream may be substituted for the Mexican variety, but the cotija, available in many Latin food stores, is essential.
