Comments on: Mexican Corn on the Cob (Elote) https://www.closetcooking.com/mexican-corn-on-cob/ Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Yum. My family loves elotes and esquites and I enjoy trying different versions. I made this (as stated) to go with fajitas this weekend. My 9 year old great grandson loved them and finished off 3 of them.He was my helper and learned how to husk the corn and make them himself (other than the oven). He was so proud of himself. I especially liked that these were made in the oven for those lazy days or when it’s not good grilling weather. Thanks for sharing this nice keeper, Kevin.

I spread this mixture on the corn (no butter) and then sprinkle with more cheese and chopped fresh cilantro. Absolutely the very best way to eat corn!!

Both of these work! I enjoy making it off the cob, with corn kernels, kind of like a corn salad.

1 – could I use some Tajin spice instead of chili powder? Sem the addition of lime and salt would be good.

2 – I love corn-on-the-cob, but I’m wondering if one couldn’t make this with kernal corn, stirring in the butter, mayo, cojito and spice……same flavor, easier to eat.

For all you purists, forgive me for thinking outside this particular box!

I live in Chicago and the street vendors ask if you want cayenne on top of chilli. They also use the parkay blue squeeze bottle of butter with mayo AND cotija cheese.

As others have said, the Mexican recipe is different. Why not just make the title “dressed corn”?

Never seen hear. Leave the recipe allow, the corn does go in the oven, that’s for lazy people, might as well stick in microwave. You take the beautiful out of our food. No feta. Its MEXICAN.
