2. Place the com ears in their husks under a preheated very hot broiler or over hot coals for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

3. Slit the husks and silks lengthwise and pull apart to expose the com. Squeeze over the lime juice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro or epazote, chili flakes, and sea salt.

4. Eat straight from the husk. Alternatively, remove the husks and silks, chop the cobs into three or four pieces, and put them in a serving bowl. Then add the seasonings.
