Elote Recipe


 

I love enjoying fresh sweet corn from the farmer’s market in the summer. In my opinion, corn is perfect on it’s own or with just a hint of butter and salt.

 

However, this elote recipe is something else! When I saw the recipe floating around Pinterest I knew I needed to try it. It didn’t disappoint!

The garlic mayo is creamy, the cotija cheese is crumbly, and the chili powder hits you at the end! SO good! You need to try it this elote recipe before summer ends!
