Elote (Grilled Mexican Style Street Corn)
- 1/4 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Cumin Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 4 ears Corn, Husks On
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
- Sea Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Chili Powder (more If You Prefer)
- 1/2 cups Grated Cotija Cheese Or Parmesan Cheese
- 1/4 cups Chopped Cilantro
- 4 slices Lime Wedges
- In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, garlic powder, cumin powder and black pepper. Set aside.
- Peel husks of corn back but do not remove them. Pull and discard silk from each ear and fold husks back over the cob. Wrap each ear loosely with a damp paper towel. Microwave corn on medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove paper towels from each ear of corn. Pull husks down to the base of each cobb. Using either kitchen twine or a piece of the husk, tie husks together into a bundle to form a handle. Brush olive oil over corn kernels.
- Place corn on the grill over medium heat. Grill corn for about 5 minutes, rotating every 1-2 minutes, until surface becomes slightly charred. Remove corn to a large platter. Brush melted butter over corn and spread a layer of mayonnaise mixture on top. Sprinkle each ear with sea salt, chili powder, cotija cheese and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges to be squeezed over the corn.
