ELOTE CORN RECIPE (MEXICAN STREET CORN)

  • Place each ear of corn on a piece of foil. Brush olive oil on each ear of corn and lightly sprinkle all sides of corn with sea salt. Wrap foil tightly around corn.
  • Preheat the grill to medium heat and place all 6 ears of corn on the grill grates. Close lid and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the corn on the cob can easily be pierced with a fork. Turn often while the corn is cooking to prevent burning the corn cob.
  • While the corn is cooking, mix together the ingredients for the crema in a small bowl.
  • When the corn is done cooking carefully remove the foil.
  • Lightly brush each ear of corn with Mexican Cream Sauce mixture and sprinkle chipotle chili powder, cotija cheese, fresh parsley, and fresh lime juice over each ear of corn.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

NOTES

RECIPE NOTES: 

  • Make sure your heat isn’t too high on the grill. You don’t want a direct flame on the foiled corn.
  • You can use store-bought crema to save time.
  • Rotate corn often to ensure it doesn’t burn on one side.
  • You can substitute butter for olive oil when foil wrapping your corn.
  • The Mexican Cream can be stored in the refrigerator and used on other recipes for 4-5 days.
