That thing up there? Is good.

This way of preparing corn is popular at lots of Mexican restaurants around the city (but is done particularly well at Dos Caminos), and is based on a traditional Mexican “street corn” recipe. It’s also really easy to do at home.

1 ear of corn per person

1. Grill (or boil) shucked corn until tender.
