Elote is classified as Mexican street food. It is corn smothered in sauce and spices. Most Filipinos prefer plain steamed/boiled sweet corn. But hang on, let’s try this recipe. It might be our next new favorite snack. 🙂
Elote
- 4 pieces sweet corn
- 4 tbsps sour cream (I prefer more)
- 3 tbsps mayonnaise (I prefer less)
- Tajin powder or Spanish Paprika (whichever is available)
- 4 tbsps melted butter (at least)
- Parmigiano Reggiano, grated (or you may use Parmesan cheese)
-
Prep the corn by removing the husk and silk.
-
Boil water in a pot. Once boiled add the corn and continue boiling for 3 to 5 minutes until cooked.
-
Remove the cooked corn from the water to drip and allow it to cool.
-
In a bowl mix the sour cream and mayonnaise.
-
Coat the corn in the melted butter and then brush with the mayo mixture.
-
Sprinkle with parmesan and tajin/paprika
-
Enjoy!
I use chopsticks for handles.
You can buy Tajin powder in S&R, Unimart, and other big supermarkets.
