Grilled Elotes Mexican-Style Corn

Instructions

Preheat your grill to high and when it is good and hot, place your corn directly over the flames to cook. Rotate them occasionally and cook until warmed through and charred in spots all over.

Mix together mayo, crema, cheese, chili powder, garlic, and cilantro. At this point, you can either cut the corn kernels off and place them in the bowl to toss with other ingredients, or leave the cobs intact and slather with the mixture.

Finish with a good squeeze of lime, a final sprinkle of cheese and chili powder, and serve immediately with additional lime wedges.

*Feel free to cut all dairy from this recipe and simply dress your grilled corn with lime and chili for a lighter take on this summer classic.
