Zubereitung

1
Heat a grill to high, about 230–260°C. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Mexican crema, lime zest, 1 tablespoon lime juice, garlic, chili powder, and salt until smooth; set aside.
2
Grill the corn directly over high heat for 10–12 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes, until the kernels are tender and several sides have deep brown blistered marks.

3
Transfer the hot corn to a platter and let it stand for 2 minutes, just until it is cool enough to handle while remaining warm.
4
Brush each ear generously with the lime crema, turning to coat the kernels on all sides. Scatter with cotija and cilantro, then dust with additional chili powder.

5
Cut the remaining lime into wedges and serve the elote immediately with the wedges for squeezing over the corn.

Warum dieses Rezept gelingt

High-heat grilling concentrates the corn's sweetness while creating bitter-edged char; cool, tangy crema balances that intensity, and cotija, chili, cilantro, and lime add salt, heat, freshness, and acidity in distinct layers.

Aufbewahren und Aufwärmen

So bewahrst du es auf

Refrigerate leftover grilled corn and crema separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days. The coated corn is best eaten the day it is made.

So wärmst du es auf

Reheat uncoated corn in a covered skillet over medium heat with a splash of water for 4 to 6 minutes, turning until hot. Add the crema, cheese, and garnishes after reheating.
