Elote Callejero Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the husks and silk from the corn and lightly brush with olive oil. Grill the corn for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until nicely charred.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, and salt to taste. Mix well until smooth.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Elote

    Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the heat. Brush each ear generously with the chipotle mayo mixture, ensuring it's well covered.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the crumbled queso fresco over the coated corn. If desired, add chopped cilantro for garnish.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the elote callejero immediately while hot, garnished with additional lime wedges on the side.
