Chipotle Grilled Corn
Chipotle Grilled Corn is a tasty take on Mexican elote and features corn layered with chipotle mayo, tangy cheese, cilantro, and lime juice.
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob, with husk
- 1/3 cup chipotle mayo more as needed
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese crumbled
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped, optional
- 1 lime cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium high heat. While that is warming, prep your corn by flipping the husk back, but keep it attached. Remove the silks and discard. Flip the husks back down over the cob and allow the corn to soak in water while the grill continues to get warm.
- Take the cobs out of the water and flip the husks back. Think of them like a handle while you work on the grill.
- Put the corn on the grill. I like to let the husk dangle where the heat is not and use it as a handle to turn the corn as needed. Rotate the cobs a quarter turn every few minutes until they are evenly charred on all sides and the kernels are vibrant in color. This can take anywhere from 10-20 minutes.
- Grab a baking sheet to put under the corn while you coat it. Using a butter knife or spatula work to slather the corn with the chipotle mayo. Use as much or as little as you want, but enough so the cheese has something to stick to.
- Sprinkle each ear of corn with 1/8 cup of cheese (about 1/8 a cup).
- Sprinkle each ear of corn with fresh cilantro and serve with a fresh lime wedge.
