... Read moreElotes, the popular Mexican street corn, is a crowd-pleaser that's easy to prepare on a Traeger grill. I found that setting the Traeger to 275°F provides the perfect low-and-slow heat to gently cook the corn without drying it out. This temperature encourages smoky flavors to infuse the kernels while keeping the inside juicy. When making elotes on the Traeger, start by shucking the corn or peeling back the husks while keeping them attached to use as handles. Brushing the corn with a mixture of melted butter, mayonnaise, and a squeeze of lime juice before placing it on the grill enhances moisture and flavor. The smoky notes from the Traeger complement the creamy coating remarkably well. I usually grill the elotes for about 20-25 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking and caramelization of natural sugars. Once grilled, sprinkle them with cotija cheese, chili powder, and a bit more lime juice for an authentic Mexican taste. This method transforms simple corn into a delightful appetizer or side dish perfect for summer barbecues or game day snacks. The Traeger's consistent temperature control makes it easier to achieve tender, flavorful elotes that rival those from street vendors. Plus, using the Traeger adds a unique twist with its wood-fired aroma that really elevates the dish. Overall, making elotes on a Traeger at 275°F is a fantastic way to combine tradition with modern grilling technology for a comforting and tasty treat that your family and friends will love.
