How to cook
Plating & presentation
Serve on a long board or plate with extra lime halves and a small bowl of extra cotija on the side. The contrast of the charred corn against the white cheese is part of the visual appeal — don't over-garnish.
Dana's tip
If you can't find cotija, feta works beautifully — it has the same salty, crumbly quality. The key is using a cheese that won't melt, so it stays as a coating rather than disappearing into the crema.
