Elotes

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup finely crumbled Cotija cheese (110 g)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise (60 ml)
  • ¼ cup sour cream or Mexican crema (60 ml)
  • ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro
  • ½ teaspoon ancho or guajillo chile powder
  • 4 ears corn, shucked
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions:

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred in spots, about 8 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the Cotija cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, and chile powder. Stir until well mixed and set aside.

Transfer the grilled corn to the bowl with the cheese mixture. Using a large spoon, coat each ear of corn evenly on all sides.

Sprinkle with a little extra Cotija cheese and a dusting of chile powder, if desired. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
