Total time: 25 minutes
Level: Easy peezy lime squeezy (pun intended)
Ingredients
2 Corns (one corn per person)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 chopped cilantro leaves
1 cup grated Parmesan
1 lime
Red chili powder (how ever much you would like)
Directions
Remove the husks of the corn but leave the core attached at the end so you have something to hold onto.
Grill the corn on a hot grill or cast iron griddle pan until slightly charred. If you want to take a shortcut you can also boil the corn but it will not taste as good.
Turn it so it gets cooked evenly all over.
Mix the mayonnaise and cilantro together.
While the corn is still warm slather with mayonnaise mix.
Squeeze lime juice over the corn and shower with Parmesan.
Season with chili powder and serve with extra lime wedges.
OPTIONAL: if you are cooking for a party you can shred the corn and serve into little individual bowls.

It is perfect for a saturday morning grill by the water, it is delicious and super easy to prepare. Elote goes perfect with horchata or mango juice.
