Begin by prehating your grill to about 350°-400°f. Once the grill has come to temp, add your ears of corn and allow them to brown on one side lightly.
Flip the corn over and allow it to brown on that side as well.
Once the corn is heated through and has some grill marks on two sides, remove the ears from the grill and cut the corn off the cob.
Now, in a small to medium-sized slow cooker, add all of the remaining ingredients, stir to combine, and begin incorporating the roasted corn.
Turn the slow cooker to low and allow all the cheese to begin to melt and for the mixture to become a sauce-like texture before serving. Feel free to remove the lid to stir the mixture. It can be very helpful to get an even texture throughout.

- - - Don't be afraid to remove the lid to stir the mixture. It can be beneficial to get an even texture throughout.

- - - Roasting the corn is optional. However, it adds a ton of flavor to this Elotes recipe, especially if it's roasted on a charcoal grill.

- - - For more spice, add some smoked paprika or even some Tabasco sauce. Be creative and taste as you go.

- - - Try serving it as a dip with tortilla chips, over tacos, fajitas, nachos, or a burrito bowl. I like pairing this with pulled pork or Instant Pot Barbacoa street-style tacos.
