Mexican Oregano, crumbled

Directions:

Turn on grill to medium-high heat.
Rub the corn with the olive oil season with salt and pepper.
Place on grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until some light charring happens.
Remove and set aside to cool.
Turn the heat to high.
Grill-roast the Poblano and the red bell pepper, turning often, until the skin is charred all over (about 5 minutes).
Remove from the grill and place in a paper bag or a sealed container until they are cool enough to touch.
Once cooled, peel away the skin, remove the stem and seeds, and then chop; set aside.
While the peppers roast, cut the corn from the cobs and place the kernels in a large mixing bowl.
Add the cooled and chopped peppers, onion and Cotija cheese.
Stir together the lime juice, oil, cumin, oregano and cayenne, drizzle over the salad and give a good toss; taste for seasoning.
Just before serving, toss in the cilantro leaves.
