This Mexican street corn recipe, also known as elotes, is a perfect balance of smoky, tangy, and creamy flavors that tantalize the taste buds! Its simple preparation makes it a quick and accessible dish that anyone can make and everyone will enjoy!
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn fresh
- 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 cup Cotija vegan
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the husks and silk from the corn ears, leaving the stalks intact for easy handling. Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the vegan mayonnaise and lime juice until well combined. In another shallow dish, combine the vegan Cotija or vegan feta cheese, smoked paprika, chili powder, fresh cilantro, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Once the corn is grilled, brush each ear with the vegan mayonnaise mixture, making sure to coat all sides. Then, roll the corn in the cheese and spice mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Serve the Mexican street corn immediately. Optionally, squeeze grilled lime wedges over the corn before enjoying.
Notes
TO STORE: Place any leftover corn in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. Consume within 2-3 days.
TO REHEAT: You can reheat the corn in the oven or on a stovetop skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
