Elote-Mexican Street Corn
Elote-Mexican Street Corn
INGREDIENTS
- 5 ears of corn, husked
- 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup crema Mexicana or sour cream
- Crumbly, salty white cheese (ideally cotija)
- Chili powder to taste
- Salt to taste
- Hot sauce (optional; recommend Valentina Mexican Hot Sauce)
- Lime wedges for garnish
DIRECTIONS
Preheat grill. Cut the corn into 3-inch pieces. Grill the ears of corn until lightly charred and hot (7 to 10 minutes), turning as needed. Brush on the melted butter and then a layer of crema, then top with crumbled cheese. Sprinkle with a good heavy coating of chili powder and salt if desired, though the cheese adds plenty of salt. If you like things spicy, add a few drops of some hot sauce for that extra kick of heat. Serve with lime wedges.
