Grilled Corn on the Cob

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB IN FOIL WITH MAYO

Grilled Mexican Street Corn or Elotes (Elote in English translates to “corn”) is grilled corn on the cobb that’s smothered with spices and cheese. It originated in Mexico City where street vendors sold this plentiful produce. 

Of course, once in the U.S., we Americanized it with mayo, cream cheese, sour cream, and probably more ingredients that aren’t traditional. However, that’s the beauty of cooking you can cater any recipe to your tastes and liking.
