Elotes
A classic authentic Mexican side dish. Corn smothered in cream, cheese, and seasonings. It's absolutely delicious!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup grated cotija cheese *Plus more to taste
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Tajin™ *to taste
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 4 ears corn *shucked
- 1 lime
Instructions
- In a wide and shallow bowl or platter, add grated cotija cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Tajin™, and minced garlic.
- Stir together until well combined.
- Refrigerate while you prepare your corn.
- Cook your corn. You can either grill your corn, prepare it on the stovetop, or bake it in the oven.
- Once the corn is cooked, remove the coating you made earlier from the fridge. Using a silicone brush or fork, spread a layer of the coating all over an ear of corn.
- Sprinkle grated cotija cheese and Tajin™ all over the ear of corn, to taste.
- Repeat until all ears of corn have been prepared with the coating and topped with grated cotija cheese and Tajin™. Cut up a lime to serve alongside the Elotes. Enjoy!
Notes
- If the weather is nice, I like to grill my corn outside on the grill. If the weather is not so nice, I like to grill my corn inside over my gas burners.
