Directions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Brush pineapple and corn with oil and place carefully on the grill. Cook pineapple until grill marks appear about 3 minutes. Flip and leave on heat just until grill marks appear on the second side about 3 minutes more; do not overcook as pineapple will become mushy.

Step 3

Grill corn turning throughout until somewhat charred 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from grill and cool until safe too handle. Cut kernels off cobs into a bowl.

Step 4

Assemble 2 bowls by spooning equal amounts of rice into the bottom and topping each with 1/2 the roasted corn kernels. Spoon crema over over corn and drizzle with hot sauce. Add 2 to 3 pineapple rings to each bowl and top with cotija cheese and cilantro. Add salt and pepper and a squeeze of lime juice.
