Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C). Husk the corn and gather your ingredients.
Grill the corn for about 10-12 minutes until charred and tender, turning occasionally.
Cut the grilled corn kernels off the cob and combine in a mixing bowl with mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, cotija cheese, and lime juice. Stir well.
Season ribeye steaks with salt and pepper, grill for 4-5 minutes per side, then allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Toast tortillas on the grill for about 1 minute per side until heated through.
Assemble tacos by placing grilled steak on each tortilla and topping with the elote mixture.
Add jalapeños if desired, serve immediately with lime wedges.
