Remove the corn from the cob carefully, keeping it whole for later use.

Place the corn in a pot with coarse salt, chopped garlic, and a bay leaf for flavor.

3

Cook the corn for about 15 to 20 minutes until tender.

While the corn is cooking, roast the onion over the coals until the outside is charred and the inside is soft.

5

Grill the white part of the green onions until soft as well.

6

Cook the chorizo over medium heat for about 20 minutes on each side.

Once the corn is nearly cooked, transfer it to the grill to give it a nice char and remove excess water, grilling for about 6-7 minutes on each side.

Chop the roasted green onions and the cooked chorizo into small pieces, ensuring they are uniform in size.

Grate the provolone cheese and add it to the bowl with the chopped ingredients.
