Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F. Husk the corn, ensuring all silk is removed.
  2. Once the grill is hot, grill the corn for 10-12 minutes until charred and tender, turning occasionally. Remove and cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine grilled corn kernels, mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, Cotija cheese, lime juice, and optional lime zest. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Season ribeye steaks with salt and pepper. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Allow to rest before slicing.
  5. Toast the tortillas on the grill for about 1 minute per side until warm with slight char marks.
  6. Assemble the tacos by placing slices of steak on each tortilla and topping with elote mixture. Add jalapeños if desired.
  7. Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
