Flat Top Esquites (Elote-Style Corn Off the Cob)

By Traeger Kitchen

Inspired by the Mexican street food, this delicious corn off the cob tastes great as a side to just about anything off the grill. If you can't find Cotjia cheese, you can substitute feta.

    Drizzle or squirt the oil over the hot cooktop then use a spatula to spread the oil in a thin layer. Dump the corn out onto the cooktop in a mostly single layer and cook, stirring and flipping often, until browned, 7 to 8 minutes.

    Ingredients
    • 1 Tablespoon canola oil or other neutral flavored oil with a high smoke point
