Instructions
Creating Elotes Mexican Street Corn can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Prepare Corn: Husk the corn and remove all silk.
3. Grill Corn: Place the ears of corn directly on the grill. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the kernels are charred and tender.
4. Make Sauce: In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
5. Coat Corn: Once grilled, remove the corn from the grill. While still hot, brush the mayo-sour cream mixture generously over each ear of corn.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle cotija cheese evenly over the coated corn.
7. Garnish: Top with freshly chopped cilantro for added flavor and color.
8. Serve: Slice lime wedges for serving alongside the Elotes.
