Elote : Mexican Style Street Corn
Fresh corn on the cob is brightened with a creamy sauce, flavorful seasonings, and crumbled cheese. Inspired by the classic street food in Mexico, this corn is super easy to make at home!
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob cooked and warm
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoons lime zest
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- tiny pinch kosher salt
- 1 cup crumbled Cotija Cheese* use fresh parmesan or queso fresco if you can't find Cotija
Instructions
- While corn is cooking, combine mayo, sour cream, lime zest and juice, cayenne pepper, chili powder and salt.
- Spread mixture on warm corn and then roll or sprinkle with cheese.
Notes
*Cotija is similar to Parmesan cheese. It has awesome flavor and a great texture. You may have never noticed it before, but it's available in most regular grocery stores. It's often near the cream cheese/refrigerated cheeses. If for some reason you can't find it at your store, a latin market is sure to have it. You could also substitute Queso Fresco, or Parmesan.
