This is our take on elotes, or Mexican Street Corn. The corn can be boiled or roasted and is served on a stick or with the husk as a handle. It’s a street food staple, and makes for an excellent vehicle for toppings.
We recommend trying your hand at our homemade queso blanco recipe for an exceptional experience. Homemade cheese makes everything better.
