Ingredients
- 4 ears corn
- ½ cup crema mexicana optional: mix ¼ cup sour cream and ¼ cup mayonnaise together
- 2 Tbsp chile lime seasoning
- ¼ cup cotija cheese
- ⅓ cup cilantro chopped
- 2 Tbsp butter melted
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper optional: mix into the chile lime seasoning
- 1 lime cut into wedges
Instructions
Prepare the corn:
- Preheat your grill to about 500°F.
- Shuck each ear and place on aluminum foil.
- Brush lightly with the melted butter. Roll the foil and fold up the ends.
- Place the wrapped ear on the grill and turn them ¼ turn about every 4 minutes.
- Optional: Remove each ear from the foil and grill to your desired level of brown or char on each ear. Rotate as you continue to grill.
- Allow the ears to cool slightly. Tip: If you have disposable wooden chop sticks sharpen them in a pencil sharpener. Insert the stick into each ear and cut to your desired length.
Add the toppings:
- Brush each ear with the crema Mexicana until well coated.
- Sprinkle each ear with the chile lime seasoning and cotija cheese. I like to use a baking tray to roll each ear around to get them coated. Optional: Mix the cayenne pepper into the chile lime seasoning for a kick or heat!
- Toss on the chopped cilantro and serve.
Notes
- You can find Elote seasoning at Trader Joe's. Many stores also sell Tajin which is very similar to the chile lime seasoning.
- Place about 2 inches of water in the bottom of a large pasta pot or Dutch oven and bring it to a boil covered.
- Once boiling, place the desired number of ears in the pot. Bring the water to a boil once again while covered.
- When the water boils again, time for 5 minutes and the ears will be done.
- Wrap a single ear with two wraps of paper towel.
- Wet the paper towel while wrapped around the ear. Get it soaked well.
- Place the wrapped ear on a microwave safe plate or baking dish. Microwave on high for 3 minutes.
- Remove from the microwave and let it rest and slightly cool for about 2 minutes. Unwrap and serve.
