Grill Corn: Husk the corn and place the ears directly on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is charred and cooked through.
Make Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chili powder, and ground cumin.
Coat Corn: Remove the corn from the grill and immediately brush each ear with the mayonnaise mixture, ensuring an even coating
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the cotija cheese generously over the coated corn.
Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle with chopped cilantro for added flavor and color.
Serve: Serve the elote with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your delicious Mexican street corn!
