I worked on a taco truck and learned this easy tasty recipe

It was the Pixar movie "Coco" of all things that made me want to try my hand at this popular street food from Mexico. Called "Elotes" this is grilled corn on the cob shoved onto a stick and covered with delicious goodies for a salty, tangy snack!Research on traditional Elotes recipes seemed to indicate that the traditional first layer of coating is Mayo but believe it or not, I am not a huge fan of Mayo so in this version, I swapped out half of the Mayo for sour cream and the result was delicious!

If you want more heat leave some or all the seeds from the jalapeño.Also this is good as a dip or just by itself!

Husked sweet corn works best

I lived next to Mexico most of my life and we would always go get tacos and elotes.

I moved so the corn-man doesn't come by anymore, so I had to learn how to make my own elote

Mexican Street Corn is one of the ultimate Summer side dishes! sweet corn topped with sour cream. Just the right amount spice to make your taste buds pop! #mymexican

An off-the-cob version of Mexican Street Corn (Elote) that is simple and quick to prepare. Far more convenient than struggling with perfecting it on the cob too, if I do say so myself! ;)

I wanted to "spruce up" the corn for Thanksgiving one year and made this! It was yummy and a nice changeup from our usual plain buttered corn. #corn

Note: To make garlic oil, bring a 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add three smashed garlic cloves and simmer until cloves turn golden brown. Remove cloves and allow to cool. Oil can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.

I was making a topping for my tacos and it ended up tasting just like elote! you can add more Mayo & eat it as a chip dip, it’s so good😋 try it!
