Brushing with Mayonnaise
Once the corn is roasted, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Brush each ear of corn generously with mayonnaise while it's still warm.
Rolling in Cheese
Roll the mayonnaise-coated corn in cotija cheese, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Seasoning
Sprinkle a mixture of cayenne pepper and paprika over the cheese-coated corn. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Serving
Serve the elotes with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
