Main Ingredients

Optional Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    Remove the husks and silk from the corn on the cob. Rinse under cold water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Boil or Grill the Corn

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for about 8-10 minutes until tender. Alternatively, you can grill the corn on medium heat, turning occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Apply Mayonnaise

    Once the corn is cooked, let it cool slightly. Then, using a brush or knife, spread a generous layer of mayonnaise over each ear of corn.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the cotija cheese evenly over the mayonnaise-covered corn. Follow with a dusting of chili powder and a pinch of salt.

  3. 5

    Finish with Lime and Cilantro

    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the corn and garnish with chopped cilantro.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Serve the elote warm with additional lime wedges and hot sauce on the side, if desired.
