Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat Grill: Turn your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Grill Corn: Place the husked corn directly on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until charred on all sides.
  3. Prepare Elote Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the grilled corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped cilantro, crumbled cotija cheese, lime juice, and optional lime zest. Mix well until creamy and uniform.
  4. Grill Steak: Season the ribeyes generously with salt and pepper. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain.
  5. Toast Tortillas: Lightly grill the tortillas for about 1 minute per side until they’re slightly charred.
  6. Assemble Tacos: Layer the sliced steak onto the warm tortillas, generously spooning the elote mixture on top.
  7. Add Jalapeño (optional): If you like a bit of heat, garnish the tacos with thin slices of jalapeño.
  8. Serve: Enjoy your freshly assembled tacos immediately, perhaps with some lime wedges on the side.
