Corn

Lime Mayonnaise

Method

Preparing the Corn

  1. 1

    Roast the Corn

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn on the grill and roast for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn is tender and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and let it cool for a few minutes.

Making Lime Mayonnaise

  1. 2

    Mix Mayonnaise and Lime Juice

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and lime juice. Mix well until smooth and evenly blended. Set aside.

Assembling the Elote

  1. 3

    Coat the Corn

    Using a brush or a spoon, generously coat each ear of roasted corn with the lime mayonnaise mixture, making sure to cover all sides.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the crushed Takis over the mayonnaise-coated corn, followed by a generous dusting of Tajín seasoning.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Serve the elote warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
