Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 4 corns on the cob husk removed
  • ½ cup cotija cheese
  • 1/3 cup Mexican crema
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
  • 1 tsp tajin seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Boil the Corn: Bring a pot of water to boil. Add the corn and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until tender. This is your base, perfectly tender corn that’s ready to be transformed into something amazing.
  • Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the Mexican crema, mayonnaise, and lime juice. Stir until well blended. Set it aside for now.
  • Prep the Toppings: Chop up your cilantro and get your cotija cheese ready. These are the little touches that make it extra special.
  • Coat the Corn: Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly so you can handle it. Brush the crema mixture generously over each cob. This creamy, tangy layer is what makes elotes so addictive.
  • Add the Finishing Touches: Sprinkle cotija cheese, Tajín seasoning, and cilantro over the corn. You can even give it an extra squeeze of lime juice if you’re feeling fancy.
  • Serve and Enjoy: That’s it! Your Mexican Elotes are ready to be eaten. Serve them hot and watch them disappear.
