Description

Enjoy mouthwatering Elote Corn Ribs made with fresh corn, a zesty chili lime seasoning, and a creamy sauce. Perfect for quick dinners or healthy gatherings, this dish is both flavorful and easy to prepare, sure to delight at any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 corn cobs
  • 1 cup bloody mary mix or tomato juice
  • 3 tablespoons chili lime seasoning or to taste
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ⅓ cup cotija cheese optional
  • handful cilantro optional


Instructions

  1. Preheat your BBQ or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. Trim the ends of each corn cob, then cut each cob in half lengthwise, followed by cutting each half again lengthwise to create quarters.
  3. Arrange the corn in a casserole dish and cover it with bloody mary mix, ensuring it's well coated. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chili lime seasoning over the corn.
  4. Place the corn ribs directly on the hot grill and cook until they are charred, around 8-10 minutes. Flip them over and continue grilling until charred on the opposite side and slightly bent in shape.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and lime juice; set aside.
  6. Once the corn is grilled to perfection, drizzle the creamy mixture over the corn, and add more chili lime seasoning, cilantro, and cotija cheese if desired.

Notes

For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili lime seasoning.
Make it vegetarian-friendly by avoiding the cotija cheese or using a substitute.
Ensure the corn is fresh for the best flavor.
