Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Grill the Corn

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the fresh corn on the grill, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred, about 10-15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the corn is grilling, crumble the queso blanco into small pieces and chop the fresh cilantro. Cut the limes into wedges.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Elote

    Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the grill and allow it to cool slightly. Brush each ear of corn generously with Mexican crema, then sprinkle with chili powder and crumbled queso blanco.

  2. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Top the corn with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the elote.
