Rack of Pork, Taters, and Street Corn

That chop looks crazy good.

Was the street corn you had in San Diego the Mexican style?

It was Tent. I had to use feta instead of catija cheese, as I couldn't find it. This may have been my problem with flavor

Aha...  Feta is kinda, sorta close, but doesn't have that aged flavor.  Next time try some Parmesan, because Cotija cheese is basically the same same as Parmesan.

Ironically, the reason I know that is the guy who owns the Mexican restaurant we frequent is from Cotija, Mexico where that cheese is made.

I actually found some today with the help of the Hispanic ladies at Trader Joes. They pointed me to a local grocery store that had it. I'm going to give it another try.

And don't forget the chili powder and lime juice as condiments!

When you get the street corn on the cob in Mexico, it is roasted, smeared with mayo as a glue, then covered in cotija, then dusted with chili powder and lime juice is squeezed on it. Lots of flavor happening!

Anything made that way needs fresh lime juice - wakes it right up!
