ELOTE - MEXICAN STREET CORN

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!

BEST HOMEMADE PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE!

I have always been a bit of a carb lover but a couple of summers ago I got a pizza stone as a gift and I became a full on pizza addict. There is nothing better than fresh pizza right out of the oven and a pizza stone is a definite game changer. If you like that crispy bottom typically associated with thin crust gourmet pizzas from restaurants I definitely recommend you pick up a stone. I have even gone as far as having pizza parties which I find is quite an interactive way to host and entertain guests. Anyways what inspired this post was that I recently came across this recipe for pizza dough by Matt Rotenberg and tried it out this past weekend and loved so much I had to share! It was so easy and really quite delicious it would be selfish of me to keep it all to myself - so enjoy!

Makes about 3-4 Personal Sized Pizzas

INGREDIENTS:

2.5 Cups of Flour
1 Pack of Fleischmann's Quick Rise Instant Yeast
1/4 TSP of Salt
1 Cup of Lukewarm Water
2 TBSP of Olive Oil
1 TBSP of honey

DIRECTIONS:

In a bowl mix flour, salt and yeast together with a fork.

Add lukewarm water, olive oil, and honey into a bowl and continue to mix with a fork until the dough starts to form,

Sprinkle flour on the counter and kneed dough. If the dough is sticky sprinkle with flour and continue to kneed until it becomes smooth.

Place ready dough in a bowl, drizzle a little bit of olive oil on top to help keep the dough moist and cover with a cloth. Let it rise for 10 minutes before moving it to the fridge.

---

TIP: Prepare dough within 2 hours of use otherwise it will continue to rise!

My pizza stone was from William and Sonoma - link HERE *

*I am not affiliated so I dont make commission just wanted to recommend my stone if you are looking to purchase one
