Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Brush or spread the creamy mixture generously over each ear of corn.
Add Cheese and Garnish:
Sprinkle the crumbled cotija cheese over the coated corn, pressing it gently to help it adhere. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve:
Serve the Elote with lime wedges on the side for an extra squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Tips:
For a Smoky Flavor: Add a bit of smoked paprika to the sauce to mimic the smoky taste from traditional street vendors.
Spicy Kick: Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and chili powder according to your heat preference.
Cheese Alternatives: If cotija cheese is not available, Parmesan cheese can be used as a substitute, though it will have a slightly different flavor.
Enjoy this delicious street corn as a fantastic side dish or snack that’s sure to impress with its authentic Mexican flavor!
