Elote or Mexican street corn is one of my favorite appetizers!! Whenever I go out for tacos I always have to order the Mexican street corn otherwise the dining experience isn't complete! The thing you might not realize is that it is so simple to make and you can do it so easily right at home. I made mine on the bbq this past week which I think was even better than boiling it because when you boil it you dilute the sugars in the kernels whereas if you bbq it, they get sealed in and the corn tastes extra sweet! Give it a go, you’ll be surprised just how delicious and easy it is to make.
INGREDIENTS:
Sweet Corn - Two per person is my usual estimate
Butchers Twine
2 TBSP of Vegetable Oil
Cream Fresh
Chipotle Chilli Seasoning Spice
Feta Cheese, Cotija Cheese or Queso Fresco
Lime Wedges - optional
DIRECTIONS:
Peel back the husk of corn and tie back with a piece of butchers twine
Coat corn in a light layer of oil and place on the bbq, turning frequently so that it becomes only slightly charred
When the corn is ready, drizzle with creme fresh, sprinkle with chipotle seasoning and garnish with cheese.
Serve warm with a slice of lime.
Enjoy!
