Easy 6 Minute Mexican Street Corn

Corn is another popular summer veggie in our home and corn on the cob is my go to on busy nights when I need something fast. 

This recipe is my easy version of Mexican Street Corn aka Elote. I like to make these on Taco Tuesday with enchiladas or tacos and rice. 

The best thing is they can be cooked and prepared in just six minutes.

This messy but good side dish is a kid favorite and requested often by my whole family!

Ingredients: 

  • 4 ears of corn, shucked and cooked
  • 1/4 cup mayo {I like Duke’s}
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 Mexican cotija cheese {you can substitute parmesan}
  • 1 tbsp Trader Joe’s Elote seasoning, optional
  • 1 tsp cilantro, diced
  • 4 lime wedges, for serving

Directions: 

  1. Let freshly cooked corn cool down slightly on a plate.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together mayo and sour cream until combined.
  3. Spread the mayo mixture all over in a thick layer on each corn. 
  4. Sprinkle the cheese all over the corn.
  5. You can also add some seasonings if you like extra flavor or heat like Everything but the Elote seasoning blend from Trader Joe’s.
  6. Sprinkle on some chopped cilantro and garnish with lime wedges. 
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
  8.  

Let freshly cooked corn cool down slightly on a plate.

I cut off the top, remove the silk and leave the husks, then microwave for 4-5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together mayo and sour cream until combined.

I like to pull the husks back but keep them attached for presentation.

Spread the mayo mixture all over in a thick layer on each corn. 

I find it easier to stand them up of a plate and then use a rubber spatula to coat all side of the corn with the mayo.

I love using Mexican cotija cheese for coating the corn.

If you cannot find it at the grocery store then you can use grated parmesan cheese.

Sprinkle the cheese all over the corn.

You can also add some seasonings if you like extra flavor or heat.

I am a big fan of Everything but the Slote seasoning blend from Trader Joe’s.

Sprinkle on some chopped cilantro and garnish with lime wedges. 

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!

 

Messy but good corn that tastes absolutely delicious!

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

🥡 We tried @doordash for the first time during our stay in Branson tonight. It really saved us time and energy running around town and delivery was free! We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored
