it’s my second time ever roasting corn so I decided to go with a barbecue/elote sort of seasoning, put some chipotle/ancho chile powder, garlic and onion powder, a little bit of brown sugar all smushed up in there

my plan is to scrape all the corn off after roasting and then toss it in lime juice w/ cilantro and use it as a burrito filler with my barbecue. I’m going to skip the mayonnaise part of elote b/c there’s coleslaw

    Corn smut is a plant disease caused by the pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis. One of several cereal crop pathogens called smut, the fungus forms galls on all above-ground parts of corn species such as maize and teosinte. The infected corn is edible; in Mexico, it is considered a delicacy, called huitlacoche, often eaten as a filling in quesadillas and other tortilla-based dishes, as well as in soups.
