Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Grill the Corn

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn directly on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are charred and cooked through.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Topping

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chipotle mayo, crumbled ricotta salata, and chopped serrano peppers. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Elote

    Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the grill and allow it to cool slightly. Using a brush or spoon, generously apply the chipotle mayo mixture over each ear of corn.

  4. 4

    Add Seasoning

    Sprinkle Tajín seasoning over the coated corn, ensuring each ear is well covered.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the corn. Enjoy your Corn Elote!
