Elote is a traditional street food in Mexico. In America, it is typically called Mexican street corn. It is corn on the cob charred on an open grill and smothered in cheese, a cream sauce, and chipotle seasoning.

Ingredients

  • 6 ears corn (husked and all silk removed)
  • olive oil
  • 2 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • ¼ - ⅓ cup cotija cheese (crumbled)
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • sea salt
  • 2 limes (juiced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • ¼ tsp chipotle chili powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Place each ear of corn on a piece of foil. Brush olive oil on each ear of corn and lightly sprinkle all sides of corn with sea salt. Wrap foil tightly around corn.

  2. 2

    Preheat the grill to medium heat and place all 6 ears of corn on the grill grates. Close lid and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the corn on the cob can easily be pierced with a fork. Turn often while the corn is cooking to prevent burning the corn cob.

  3. 3

    While the corn is cooking, mix together the ingredients for the crema in a small bowl.

  4. 4

    When the corn is done cooking carefully remove the foil.

  5. 5

    Lightly brush each ear of corn with Mexican Cream Sauce mixture and sprinkle chipotle chili powder, cotija cheese, fresh parsley, and fresh lime juice over each ear of corn.

  6. 6

    Serve hot and enjoy!
