Elote Asado Ingredients

Method

Elote Asado Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, chile morita powder, and lime juice. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Corn

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Husk the sweet white corn by removing the outer leaves and silk.

  3. 3

    Grill the Corn

    Place the prepared corn on the hot grill. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is charred and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Elote

    Once the corn is grilled, remove from the grill and brush generously with the chile morita aioli. Sprinkle cotija cheese over the corn, followed by micro cilantro and a dusting of chile con limon powder.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the elote warm, with lime wedges on the side for added flavor if desired.
