Mexican Street Corn - Elote
Servings: 8
Elote or Mexican street corn is grilled corn on the cob lathered in creamy, cheesy goodness that is so irresistible!
Ingredients
- 6-8 Ears of Corn husked
- Mexican Crema found in your local grocery store by the cheeses or Mayonnaise
- Cotija Cheese Again, over by the cheese section
- Chili Powder or Smoked Paprika
- 2 Limes
- Fresh Cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Heat a grill to medium-high heat and add the corn.
- There is no need to add salt as the cotija cheese is salty.
- Grill on each side for a few minutes until some of the kernals begin to look darker, and a little charred, as pictured above.
- Remove from the grill and immediately spread the mexican crema all over the corn.
- Sprinkle lightly with cotija cheese, chili powder and lime juice.
- Top with a little bit of the fresh cilantro and enjoy.
- Best eaten hot off the grill, so be careful not to burn yourself.
Notes
There are a couple of ways to reheat this corn.
- Microwave: Place the corn in a microwave safe dish and cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Set the timer for 10-20 second bursts and continue heating till corn is warm.
- Oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add butter, 1 tsp. water, salt and pepper to the corn and wrap in foil. Place in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
