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. Pair it with grilled carne asada, chilled cervezas, and a backyard setup that makes hosting feel effortless. With the Lynx L42TR-LP, you’ll spend less time sweating over the grill and more time enjoying the party.
