I like Elotes, or Mexican road corn. It’s candy, it’s salty and it could possibly have somewhat spice and warmth to it as effectively! Elote is usually served corn on the cob-style. However you may additionally lower the corn off the cob (or used canned corn) to make Elote en vaso, or corn in a cup. Nonetheless you serve it, this straightforward recipe is scrumptious.
Elotes makes an awesome facet dish for all kinds of meals. I find it irresistible alongside baked rooster, BBQ rooster or steak. Selfmade Elotes takes only some substances and could be made in about quarter-hour!
