Here it is, a post 4 years in the making! Well, not really, but I first put together a recipe for the most excellent Mexican-style grilled corn back in 2008, but didn't quite have the photos I wanted to use for a post, so it sat patiently in my queue. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I finally took some glamour shots I was happy enough with to finally bring this corn to the blog, but that wait was not in vein, as I've been slowly altering my recipe to make it simpler, yet better. So at long last, I'm finally getting to share my all-time favorite preparation of grilled corn, and I'm confident this is about as good as it gets.

I'm back! You may have never known I was gone—except you astute observers who noticed a lack of a new recipe last week—but I was speeding through the awesomely surreal landscape of West Texas, making a few good barbecue stops along the way, which was immediately followed by the wedding of Meatwaver extraordinaire Mike when I returned. Although I may have been away from the computer (thank god), my mind never wandered far from the Meatwave. As I found myself hiking in 100 degree weather in Big Bend, peering into Mexico from the banks of the Rio Grande, I was remembering this roadside chicken, which was not only one of the best chickens I ever made, but one of the best I had ever eaten.

How I love to lament the state of Mexican and Tex-Mex in NYC. Seriously, it's pretty atrocious. Luckily, being married to a Texan, I get my fair share of the good stuff throughout the year, but while not under those big, bright shining stars, Mexican is almost strictly a home cooking venture. Besides a few of the more authentic Mexican joints near my office in NY, I rarely ever see tomatillo salsa—which is always served right next to the red stuff in TX—and that's a down right shame. This is like the crack of salsas—once you have some, it's pretty futile to ever try to get yourself off of it.

Oh joy of joys, my absolute favorite eating holiday is nigh—Cinco de Mayo. There's something about sitting around the grill, enjoy some tacos, chips and guac, and beer that I find so incredibly pleasing. Although this is quite a common practice in my house, the forthcoming holiday brings an extra sense of excitement along with it—a realization that this is not only what I love doing, it's also what I should be doing. So what could be better than that? How about combining them all into one super-mega-taco!

After a disappointing attempt at some meaty treats for Cinco de Mayo earlier this week, I was left with little choice but to get out and grill again in order to appease the Mexican gods (and by gods, I'm mostly talking about my stomach). I'm no fool though, so after coming to the conclusion that New Yorkers and authentic Mexican food is not what the holiday is about, it was time to take the Tex-Mex approach with some tasty fajitas.
