    Grilled Elote (Mexican Street Corn)

    Prep Time: 5 minutes
    Bake Time: 10 minutes
    Serves: 4-6

    Ingredients:

    • Fresh corn on the cob (husks removed)
    • Mayonnaise
    • Crumbled Cotija cheese
    • Chili powder
    • Lime wedges

    Instructions (Using the Lynx Grill):

    1. Preheat the Grill

      Fire up your Lynx L42TR-LP grill and set it to medium-high heat. Let the grill grates get hot for a nice, even sear.

    2. Grill the Corn

      Place the corn directly on the grates. Grill for 8–10 minutes, rotating occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred on all sides. Lynx’s precise burner control ensures the corn cooks evenly without burning.

    3. Add the Toppings

      While the corn is still warm:

      • Brush each ear generously with mayonnaise
      • Sprinkle with crumbled Cotija cheese
      • Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top
    4. Serve

      Serve hot, family-style, or create a DIY Elote bar for guests to customize with their favorite toppings—think Tajín, crema, or fresh cilantro.

    Bring the Fiesta Home in Arizona

    Grilled Elote is more than just a side dish—it’s a celebration of flavor, culture, and community.
