Print Recipe

Delightful tacos packed with the flavors of grilled steak and elote, featuring sweet corn, creamy sauces, and cotija cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pieces ribeyes
  • To taste salt
  • To taste pepper
  • 4 ears corn
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cotija cheese
  • 1 piece lime, juiced
  • 1 piece lime zest (optional)
  • 8 small tortillas
  • 1 piece jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Steak: Start by seasoning your ribeye steaks liberally with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Grill the Corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn on the grill, turning occasionally, until charred and tender (about 10-12 minutes).
  3. Make the Crema: Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  4. Grill the Steak: Grill the seasoned ribeyes for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  5. Char the Corn: Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly. Cut the kernels off the cob.
  6. Assembly Time: Warm your tortillas on the grill. Layer each tortilla with slices of steak, charred corn, the creamy sauce, cotija cheese, cilantro, and jalapeño if desired.
  7. The Lime Finish: Squeeze fresh lime juice over each taco and sprinkle with lime zest if using.

Notes

Serve the tacos garnished with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs. Pair with iced tea or a fruity margarita for a perfect summer meal.
