Description

Easy and delicious Mexican street corn, known as Elote.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ears of corn, husk left intact
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • ¼ cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¾ cup cotija cheese, broken down into small chunks
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
  • ground chili powder, to taste

Instructions

  1. Over a medium-hot grill roast the corn until the husks are charred, about 10 minutes. Turn the husk occasionally to char uniformly.
  2. Set the charred husk aside to cool, then shuck them and cut off the corn from the cob.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, hot sauce, lime juice, chicken stock, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix well and set aside.
  4. In a large skillet, add the corn and the mayonnaise mixture. Sauté over medium-low heat until warm.
  5. Pour into a bowl and garnish with cilantro, cotija cheese, and chili powder.

Notes

  • Adjust chili powder to your taste.
