Description

Enjoy the mouthwatering taste of Grilled Corn Elote Style! This simple recipe features juicy corn, tangy lime, and creamy cheese, making it a perfect addition to your summer cookouts.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears corn
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, freshly chopped
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1/4 cup cotija cheese
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • chili powder, to taste
  • 2 limes cut into wedges, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Remove the husks of the corn, leaving the core attached.
  2. Preheat a grill or cast iron pan and grill the corn, turning until slightly charred on all sides.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and cilantro.
  4. Once grilled, remove corn and apply the mayonnaise mixture using a basting brush.
  5. Squeeze lime juice over the corn, then sprinkle with parmesan and cotija cheese, finishing with a dash of chili powder.

For added flavor, you can use smoked paprika instead of regular chili powder.
Feel free to adjust the amount of lime juice according to your preference for tanginess.
Corn can be cooked in an oven if a grill isn’t available.
