### 🔥 How to Grill Corn on the Cob

**1. Prep the corn:**
Remove husks and silk. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

**2. Preheat the grill:**
Set your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

**3. Brush and season:**
Lightly brush each ear with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.

**4. Grill the corn:**
Place the ears directly on the grill. Rotate every 2–3 minutes until all sides are slightly charred and the kernels are tender — about 10–12 minutes total.

**5. Serve hot:**
Remove from the grill, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

* For **Mexican-style elote**, slather grilled corn with mayo, Cotija cheese, lime juice, and chili powder.
