mexican street corn is amazingly good (and just as easy)!
I had my very first Mexican street corn – a.k.a., “elote” – about 10 years ago (you can read about it here).
And I’ve been making up for lost time ever since.
If you’ve been with me for any length of time then you know how much I love all things corn (see: cookies popsicles pancakes more cookies more popsicles).
So corn – slathered in mayo, rolled in cheese and doused in lime and cilantro???
Come on!
And it couldn’t be easier too – maybe even TOO easy, as I could totally eat this on the regular.
I added a few drops of Lime essential oil to the mayo, which brightened things up considerably.
I like my food on the milder side, so I typically pass the chili powder separately, so that everyone can adjust the heat accordingly.
Let me know if you make it!
4 ears of corn, husks removed
1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
3 drops Lime essential oil
1/4 cup mayonnaise
paprika
2 limes, cut into wedges
chili powder
Grill corn till charred on all sides. Let sit till cool enough to handle.
While the corn is cooling, mix cotija and cilantro in a shallow dish. Add the Lime oil to the mayo and brush generously on the corn. Roll each ear in the cotija/cilantro mixture and transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with paprika.
Serve immediately with lime wedges and chili powder.

I love to use mayo in potato salad and chicken jalapeno dip
Flavored mayo is the best way to take an ordinary sandwich to another level. And I think these flavored mayos will make spinach dip even better!!
