**Intro:**
Ready to take your taste buds on a wild ride? 🚀 Say "adios" to boring corn and "hola" to Elote—the Mexican street food that’ll make your BBQ the talk of the town! Whether you're a grill master or just someone who loves corn (like, seriously, who doesn't?), this recipe will have you and your amigos shouting, "Más, por favor!" 🇲🇽🌽
**Ingredients:**
- 4 ears of corn, husks removed
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Mexican crema
- 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta if you’re in a pinch)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (juice of about 1 lime)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (or Tajín for an extra zing)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
- Salt to taste
**Instructions:**
1. **Fire Up the Grill! 🔥**
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While it's heating, dance around the kitchen to some mariachi music. 🎺🎶
2. **Grill the Corn 🌽**
Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Turn occasionally, letting it char until it’s golden and beautiful, about 7-10 minutes. If it looks like you’re about to set the whole BBQ on fire, you’re doing it right!
3. **Mix Up the Magic Sauce ✨**
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth. Try not to eat it all with a spoon before it hits the corn. (No promises!)
4. **Slather and Sprinkle 🍴**
Once your corn is perfectly grilled, generously slather it with the magic sauce using a brush or just go in with your hands—no judgment here! Next, sprinkle that beautiful cotija cheese all over. Don’t be shy; this is where the flavor magic happens!
5. **Spice It Up 🌶️**
Dust your corn with chili powder or Tajín for that spicy kick. Feel free to add more if you're feeling extra adventurous. 🌶️
6. **Garnish and Serve 🥳**
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro, serve with lime wedges, and prepare to impress your guests (or just yourself—because you deserve it!).
7. **Enjoy! 😋**
Take a bite and get ready for a fiesta in your mouth. Pair with a cold drink, maybe a margarita, and celebrate your culinary victory! 🍹
**Pro Tip:** If you drop a piece of corn on the ground, just yell, "It’s for the gods!" and keep going. 🌽🙏

Get ready for your next BBQ to be a fiesta! 🇲🇽🔥
