Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C). Husk the ears of corn.
  2. Once hot, grill the corn for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. Remove and let cool.
  3. Cut the kernels off the cooled corn and mix with mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, cotija cheese, lime juice, and zest if using.
  4. Season the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Toast tortillas on the grill for about 1 minute on each side.
  6. Slice the rested ribeye against the grain and place on warm tortillas. Top with the elote salsa.
  7. Add sliced jalapeños on top if desired.
  8. Serve on a platter, garnished with lime wedges.
