One of my favorite summer foods is corn. A nice grilled corn on the cob just makes my day!
But I had never tried Elote before, so I figured it was time to do so!
Elote, or corn on the cob in Spanish, is a Mexican grilled corn brushed with a creamy mixture of mayo, sour cream, cotjia cheese, chili powder, and cilantro.
The result is absolutely crave-worthy!
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup grated Cotija cheese, plus more for serving
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, plus more for serving
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, plus more for serving
- 4 ears corn, shucked (if possible, keep an inch or so of the stalk for easy eating)
- 1 lime, cut into wedges, if desired
