of diced chile and puree until smooth.
To assemble, arrange cakes on a serving
platter. Drizzle chile-lime crema around cakes, sprinkle with cotija and

Soak corn in a sink, weighting it down with a plate and heavy cans or 2-liter bottle for 30 minutes.
Prepare a grill for
medium-high heat. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until well charred, 10–12
minutes. Cut kernels from cobs and place in a large bowl.
Grill chiles, turning
occasionally, until skins are blackened, 12–15 minutes. Transfer chiles to a
small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Remove skin, stems, and seeds from chiles. Chop flesh into 1/4″ pieces. Add to bowl with corn. Stir in green onions, garlic, crème fraîche, sour cream, lime juice, and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
