1
Grill the Corn
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Husk the Florida sweet corn and remove all silk strands. Once the grill is hot, place the corn on the grill grates and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and has char marks.

2
Prepare the Lime Aioli
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

3
Assemble the Elote
Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Brush a generous amount of lime aioli over each ear of corn. Sprinkle crumbled Cotija cheese over the aioli-coated corn. Finish by dusting chipotle powder and Tajin seasoning over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
