Mexican Street Corn

Elote ~ Mexican Street Corn

This version of elotes, the popular grilled corn on the cob that's sold by street vendors in Mexico is grilled, then slathered with a tangy lime mayonnaise and coated in crumbled Mexican Cotija cheese. 

Side Note:  Today my dear husband would have had 91 candles on his cake.  I can just imagine him in Mexico sampling the street corn, vendor after vendor, with a big smile on his face.  HBD Don!

Ingredients:
8 ears fresh corn on the cob
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup Mayonesa (Mayonnaise) With Lime Juice
1/3 cup Mexican crema
3/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese, divided
2 tablespoons Hot Sauce, plus more for drizzling - Substitutes
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Lime wedges, to serve
Directions:

Brush corn with oil. Grill over medium-high heat 15 minutes, turning frequently, until tender and charred on all sides.

Meanwhile, mix Mayonesa, crema, 1/2 cup of the Cotija, Original Hot Sauce and lime juice in loaf pan (or shallow baking dish long enough to fit corn).

Use tongs to roll each ear of corn in mayo mixture until well coated. Place corn on serving platter. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Cotija and drizzle with additional Original Hot Sauce. 

Serve with lime wedges.
