Easy Elote (Mexican Street Corn)

Mexican street corn grilled until properly charred in spots before it's slathered in mayonnaise and rolled in crumbled cotija — the char is what makes it elote, not just corn with toppings.

Instructions

1

Grill the corn cobs directly over the flame or on a hot grill, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, about 10 minutes.

2

While still warm, slather each cob generously with mayonnaise so it coats every side.

3

Roll the mayo-coated cob in crumbled cotija cheese, pressing gently so it sticks.

4

Dust with chili powder and finish with a good squeeze of lime just before serving.
