Elote Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Grill the Corn

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn is charred and tender.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Elote

    Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the heat. Brush the chili-lime aioli generously over each ear of corn.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the queso fresco over the aioli-coated corn. Finely chop the jalapeño and sprinkle it on top, along with the fresh cilantro.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the elote warm, and enjoy!
