Mexican Street Corn (Elotes) Is As Popular As Ever

Mexican Street Corn (Elotes) Is As Popular As Ever

First, it should be said that while I prefer grilling it more often than not you will find it boiled. Either way works and its all in what you prefer.

 

Ingredients

  • 2 ears of corn on the cob (or as many ears as needed!)
  • 2 Tbs of mayonnaise (1 Tbsp per ear and low-fat works just great!)
  • 1/2 Cup of finely shredded cojita cheese (use a kitchen rasp)
  • 1 large pinch of ground cayenne pepper to sprinkle
  • lime wedge for garnish
  • cilantro for garnish (optional)

Directions

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Peel husks and silks from corn. Leave end nub as the handle for ease when eating.
  • Grill naked ears of corn over direct heat for 10-12 minutes, continually turning until well-charred on all sides.
  • Remove charred corn from grill and slather with mayonnaise.
  • Roll corn in shredded cojita cheese.
  • Sprinkle all sides with cayenne pepper.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge.
  • Collect accolades!

There you go. That's all you need and you have yourself a truly wonderful snack! Let us know what you think. Have you ever had this before and if so where?
