Elote’s are one of the only recipes I can think of that do not require a recipe. You get to assemble the Elote’s with as little or as much of the ingredients so go nuts.
Ingredients
- 1-4 Fresh corn (yellow or white)
- 2 oz fresh cotija cheese (Parmesan cheese is an excellent substitute)
- Mayo
- Chili powder (if you like a kick use cayenne pepper)
- 1 lime (not needed unless your Mexican)
- Wooden skewers
Instructions
- Place desired number of in the microwave. Cook for 8 minutes. This process will naturally steam the corn.
- Very carefully remove the husk and silk which is super hot at this point. If you want to give your corn a smoky finish grill the corn for 2-3 minutes. If not move onto the next step.
- Using a knife, spoon or spatula, generously cover the corn with mayo. Roll the desired number of corn’s with plenty of cotija cheese, then dust the corn with chili powder.
I found a pretty decent video on you tube that shows virtually the same steps above, which you can see on the next page. [nextpagelink][/nextpagelink]
