🇲🇽 Mexican
Elote is a beloved Mexican street-food treat: charred corn slathered in a tangy, creamy sauce, dusted with salty cheese and bright herbs. Crispy-grilled ears are dressed with a quick mayo-crema mixture, finished with chili, lime and cilantro for a perfect balance of smoky, spicy and fresh flavors.

Method
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Husk and remove the silk from each ear of Corn, then pat them dry.
Brush the cobs lightly with oil and place them on the hot grill, turning every 2–3 minutes until the kernels are nicely charred on all sides (about 8–12 minutes).
While the corn grills, whisk together in a bowl 1/2 cup of Mayonnaise and 1/4 cup of Mexican Crema with the juice of half a Lime; stir in 1 teaspoon of Chili Powder and 1/2 teaspoon of Salt, adjusting to taste.
When the corn is done, use a brush or spoon to coat each hot ear generously with the mayo-crema mixture so it clings to the kernels.
Immediately sprinkle the dressed cobs with crumbled Cotija Cheese and chopped Cilantro, pressing lightly so the cheese adheres.
Serve the elotes warm with extra chili powder and lime wedges on the side for squeezing, and enjoy immediately.
