Hot sauce (optional; recommend Valentina Mexican Hot Sauce)
Lime wedges for garnish
DIRECTIONS
Preheat grill. Cut the corn into 3-inch pieces. Grill the ears of corn until lightly charred and hot (7 to 10 minutes), turning as needed. Brush on the melted butter and then a layer of crema, then top with crumbled cheese. Sprinkle with a good heavy coating of chili powder and salt if desired, though the cheese adds plenty of salt. If you like things spicy, add a few drops of some hot sauce for that extra kick of heat. Serve with lime wedges.

1 cup raw quinoa, any color, or a combination, rinsed in a fine sieve
1 vegetable bouillon cube
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine, optional
1 pound mixed summer squashes of your choice, cut into bite-sized pieces
6 to 8 ounces portabella mushrooms, crimini, shitake or button mushrooms
1 to 2 small fresh hot chili peppers (or long hots!), seeded and minced, optional
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro or basil, or more, to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, or 1 tablespoon fresh
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Combine the quinoa and bouillon cube with 2 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. If you’d like a more tender grain, add another 1/2 cup water and cook until absorbed.
Heat the oil in a skillet or stir-fry pan. Add the onion and garlic and sauté over medium heat until translucent.
Add the wine, squashes, mushrooms, and optional chili peppers, and sauté over medium-high heat until the squashes are touched with golden spots.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, followed by the fresh herbs, oregano, and cumin. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes longer. Serve at once.
