Method

Corn Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Corn

    Husk the corn and remove all silk. Brush each ear of corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

  3. 3

    Grill the Corn

    Place the corn directly on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes until the corn is charred and cooked through.

Ancho Lime Aioli

    Mix the Aioli

    In a bowl, combine vegan mayonnaise, lime juice, ancho chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assemble the Elote

  1. 5

    Add Toppings

    Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill. Brush each ear of corn generously with ancho lime aioli.

  2. 6

    Sprinkle Cheese and Chile

    Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco (or vegan cheese) over the aioli, followed by ground chile and chopped cilantro.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the elote hot, with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
