Select 4 elotes (corn on the cob) that are white and not too tender.

Prepare a pot with a small amount of water, enough to cover the bottom but not too much to avoid washing out the flavor.

Add some celery leaves and a bit of seasoning powder and salt to the water for flavor.

Cover the pot and bring to high heat until it boils.

Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the corn cook for about 30-40 minutes, checking for tenderness by aroma and by tasting a kernel.

After cooking, remove the corn from the pot and let it cool slightly.

Use a brush to spread mayonnaise evenly over the corn.

Sprinkle with soft cheese of your choice.

Drizzle with black sauce and mustard as desired for decoration.
