Esquites

Esquites is a cousin to elote--that street food favorite of creamy cheese-coated corn cobs. You can also find this off-the-cob version with Mexican street food vendors. It's great on its own or served as a side dish with grilled meats.

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 (16-ounce) packages frozen whole-kernel corn, divided

2 teaspoons sugar, divided

¼ cup canola mayonnaise

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 ½ teaspoons ancho chile powder

½ teaspoon ground coriander

¾ teaspoon kosher salt

2 ounces Cotija cheese, grated (about ½ cup)
