ELOTE | the best Mexican street corn recipe!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 кві 2024
- Elote (Mexican street corn) is by far one of my favorite Mexican side dishes! Juicy, charred corn on the cob gets slathered with a limey mayo spread, then it's topped with cotija cheese, chili powder, and fresh cilantro. Yum!!
I love classic grilled corn on the cob, but elote is next level. It's got so much flavor with just a few simple ingredients and is such a joy to eat on a sunny day - especially when you're in Mexico!
But if you're not in Mexico, you can easily make elote at home at your next outdoor fiesta, barbecue, or Cinco de Mayo party. Just toss some corn cobs on the grill, whip up the creamy mayo sauce, and then add a few toppings. Your crowd will go head over heels for it!

😋🌽🥰 we use Tajin on our Mexican dishes because it has chili powder and lime in it. Thank you for sharing another awesome recipe.
Great suggestion 👍🏾
Thanks for the tip Shelly!!
It has lime too. Good to know. Thanks!
I’m mexican and I approve this recipe 😊
Happy to hear that Erika 😊
LOL That one day of hot weather we had last Friday was great. And now we're back to the cool. LOVE elote. Thank you Lisa!
This just screams summer to me. Living in South Florida this recipe is a keeper!
Absolutely!! Hope you enjoy 😊
El elote entero preparado o en vaso se consume TODO el año en México, PERO cuándo llega la temporada de frío es simplemente genial 😊
Bendiciones ❤
Actually elotes are more a winter food 😅 although we can eat it all year long here in Mexico, also mostly used is white corn; I've never seen that cilantro goes into an Elote not because it can't be kept fresh but because it's not for elote (that's for menudo and birria 🤭) but they do boil them with epazote. Another variance of this is called chascas in Aguascalientes, the difference is they don't eat the "broth" left after they cook the elotes at all (esquite does stay in the "broth" it was cooked and they can serve it with or without it), chascas are usually cooked with different things after boiling and that gives the different flavorings like chorizo, mushrooms, herbs, super spicy and other things they come up with hehe
Still this looks like a good variance of elote 👍
You can also boil the corn. I actually perfer it this way. 😋 This is how the elotero guys make it in SoCal. They also drizzle the squeezable butter. It's not clean butter, but it's so yummy!
Yes, boiling corn is one way to do it if you don't have a grill!
I grill mine in our toaster oven wrapped in foil
I watched this, and gave me the confidence to try at home. We cut the corn off the cob, and mixed it all together, so more like the esquites, but definitely used your lime hint - in the sauce, added at the end, etc. Not too shabby. I still prefer going to the hole in the wall shack in Freeport (Texas) but was able to do this myself. A nice side to our beef fajitas.
Wow! This elote recipe sounds delicious! I'll try to replicate it with a mix of parmesan and pecolino cheese because I can't find Mexican cheese here in Italy 😋😋
Not a problem! Hope you love this recipe 😊
@@Downshiftology
I tried your recipe using the Italian cheeses I was telling you about. it's delicious 🥰🌽🧀🔥
Love Mexican street corn! Love this!
This is the best corn ever... I used to eat this often when I lived in California
This is your reminder now to make it at home, wherever you are 😉
Going to make this today for my son's birthday BBQ:-)
One of my favorites! Thanks for the recipe. Love the idea of Elote in a cup.
Esquites is such a delicious dish as well! I'll have to make another recipe for that at some point 😉
OMG!! Looks soooooo freaking GOOD!
This looks so delicious, simple and quick. Nicely prepared love how simple the recipe is ❤
It's definitely super easy to make!
Looks delicious, I'll try it soon.
Looking so Delicious.
I love the cup idea! You can alway grill it and get the kernels off the cob after and add the sauces and everything :p. I had it in a Mexican restaurant in Naples recently but they only added cotija cheese. It was still delicious. :). Can't wait to try this!
Happy Sunday Lisa Your Food Looks So good And Delicious To Eat
Happy Sunday to you as well Pam! Hope you enjoy this elote recipe for the summer ahead.

This looks amazing. Also, can you show us your outdoor cooking space. It looks pretty cool too.
The cooking space is just part of my apartment 😊
I've never had this but always wanted to try it. Looks like a bomb of flavors. Delicious. 😋 Beautiful presentation.
Hope you love it!!
@Downshiftology Yes, I did. I made them last night, and they were simply fantastic. 😋 Loved them and will be making them again. Still have some corn in the fridge. Thank you so much. 👍👍👍
I’m so glad it’s finally warm where I’m at because I’m firing up the grill this weekend. This will go great with grilled chicken.
Perfect timing! Hope your elote turns out perfectly 😊
YUM!

Looks amazing. Any tips on finding the juicy limes
We made those last night -turned out so good! So delicious!
P.S. we grilled for 20 mins ( medium/high).
Delicious
Super super cool! I’ve been eating those in Los Angeles since I was a teen, & the esquites, I’ve heard abt that a year ago, I’m late in the game.. 😉
Wow look so delicious 👍😘🔔❤
They look fantastic. I'm going to try this. Hopefully I can find the cheese.
I have just returned from Los Barriles on Baja and was elated to get this notice about elotes Yeah!
What perfect timing!! Hope you enjoy this elote recipe 😊
@@Downshiftology as soon as the sun comes out in rainy Canada, I am making it. can’t wait
It looks delicious!!! Cannot wait to try this recipe. I know you love Mexican food, and maybe I missed, but I couldn't find an enchilada recipe on your website. If you're taking suggestions, I would love to see that. I've made many of your recipes and loved them all. Thanks for sharing ❤
I don't have an enchilada recipe on my website yet, but I hope to make a gluten-free version soon!
yum!
Thank you.
Hope you enjoy!
Love this! I also like your jeans … do you remember where you bought them?
They are from Agolde!
Love this recipe! Although I’ll admit that I only used some frozen corn and layered in a cup like the street vendor did. It was delicious. Next time I cook a big family meal I’ll grill corn on the cob first.
Hope you and your family loves this elote recipe!
🔥🔥🔥
Lady, you roll the elote on the crumbled cheese, making sure you press a little to make sure the cheese adheres to the elote. The best adherent is crème cheese and it is the best flavor.
Looks so yummy... Without cilantro. 😂😂😂 If I don't find that cheese. Which one you recommend? Thanks Lisa. Greetings from Spain
You gotta have it with field corn though, which is hard to find in the states
I'm going to use this recipe and mix cut grilled corn to it as a salad instead, to be mixed with Spanish rice. So excited!
That would be so delicious! There's honestly so many ways you can use this recipe once you shave off the corn and play with the toppings.
I know you said no substitutes but if you can't get cotija cheese, could a mix of feta and parmesan work in a pinch?
Yep, that's fine!
Can we use Greek yogurt for the sour cream? Also, what can you substitute for the cheese? I live in Portugal and ha ent seen that cheese here. Thanks!!
Jeanette work was loose corn kernels inside the Quan gob
Delicious, if I could add cilantro to everything, I would. 😅
Honestly, me too 😂
I made this before I went dairy free! I miss this so much!! Is there any way to do this dairy free? (I’m also gF, sugar free).
This one needs the cheese to make it "elote". But you can absolutely use lime juice and chili powder as a topping!
As a Mexican, its not pronounced "e-lotay", it's pronounced "eh-loteh" Shout out for loving our food though! 🎉❤😊
I know this is mostly a cooking/recipe channel, but have you tried any Cymbiotika products?
Para que agarre más sabor la parrilla necesita estar lo más oxidada posible 😅
Agree with using crema as is more authentic (Mexico and South America) - no need for mayo
envy at how you bite into that corn, and then nothing spills on you... I'd already be smeared all over with so much mayo on my face I'd look like a clown
I appreciate you trying to pronounce ingredients and food with the correct pronunciation vs butchering it completely or not even trying at all
Thanks so much! If you ever catch me saying anything wrong too, please let me know 😊
Its gross! But folks love it in DC too.
