How to keep grilled corn from drying out:

I like to start by grilling the corn in just the inner layer of the husks, then finish it off with the husks removed. Summer corn is so sweet and juicy and cooking it initially in the husks keeps it from drying out. I love using my charcoal grill because it gives the corn that delicious smoky flavor.

Grilled corn is the best corn!

Once the corn picks up a bit of color, slather it with the cotija cheese mixture and squeeze fresh lime juice over the corn. Finish with a sprinkle of cheese, chili powder, and fresh cilantro.

The perfect grilled side dish!

This Grilled Mexican Elote is the perfect grilled side dish for all of your outdoor entertaining. It takes less than 30 minutes and you can cook it alongside your steaks, burgers, chicken, or whatever else you’re grilling that day. The bold flavors and texture come from the smoky goodness of the grill paired with creamy mayo and sour cream with garlic, cilantro, and chili powder. The cotija cheese and fresh lime juice just set this side dish over the top. It might even be the star of the dinner table!
