Elote is a popular Mexican street food that consists of grilled corn on the cob coated with a mixture of mayonnaise, chili powder, lime, and cheese. It's a flavorful, tangy, and creamy treat perfect for summer.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the corn cobs with olive oil and grill them, turning frequently until cooked and slightly charred, about 10 minutes.
While the corn is grilling, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, and garlic powder in a bowl.
Once the corn is grilled, spread the mayonnaise mixture over each cob.
Sprinkle each cob with Cotija cheese and cilantro.
Serve the corn with extra lime wedges and a sprinkling of chili powder, if desired.
