Elote (Mexican Grilled Corn)

One of my favorite summer foods is corn. A nice grilled corn on the cob just makes my day!

But I had never tried Elote before, so I figured it was time to do so!

Elote, or corn on the cob in Spanish, is a Mexican grilled corn brushed with a creamy mixture of mayo, sour cream, cotjia cheese, chili powder, and cilantro.

The result is absolutely crave-worthy!

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Cotija cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, plus more for serving
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, plus more for serving
  • 4 ears corn, shucked (if possible, keep an inch or so of the stalk for easy eating)
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges, if desired

Grilled Corn with Chive Butter

Note: I was sent a Coyote Outdoor Grill to participate in the #CoyoteChallenge. All opinions are mine alone.

Last night, we finally broke in our snazzy new Coyote Outdoor Grill; it’s about time I started the Coyote Challenge! (Granted, I just got back from my honeymoon; it’s difficult to grill when you’re in a different country!) We had friends along for the adventure, so we made a few simple items to try out the grill.

Despite it being July, none of us had eaten corn on the cob yet! So naturally, we decided to make a quick grilled corn with an easy chive butter to test out the vegetable/fish grates. There isn’t much to it, so this recipe for Grilled Corn with Chive Butter was the perfect way to try out the grill for the first time.

We also shared a huge delicious piece of steak that Steve (our grill-master for the evening) had marinated first in an IPA (yum) and then transferred it into a more traditional herbed marinade (double yum). It was so juicy and delicious!

There were some other yummy grilling experiments that took place, but discussion of those are for another post. On to the recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 4 ears of corn, shucked
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives, plus more for garnish
  • cooking spray, for the grill
  • salt, if desired
