You haven’t really lived unless you’ve had elote. Elote is a Mexican dish that consists of grilled corn on the cob that’s slathered with mayonnaise, chili, lime juice, and cotija cheese. Elote is a Mexican style corn on the cob that tickles your taste buds with a burst of sweet, salty, tangy, and spicy flavors all in one bite. In this recipe, we use Kesong Puti instead of cotija cheese because aside from its wide availability in the Philippines, its sharp saltiness and creamy texture goes really well with Lady’s Choice Real Mayonnaise. If you’ve been used to having boiled corn with salted butter, get ready to have your life changed with this elote recipe.
This Mexican elote recipe is a great dish to eat on its own or as a side dish to make taco Tuesdays even better. If you’re pressed for time and looking to make something equally delicious without the need to fire up the grill, you can either boil the corn and proceed with the same steps as above. You can even use frozen corn kernels and char them on the stovetop. Add the mayonnaise mixture when warm and sprinkle with the kesong puti mixture for a fuss-free non-traditional elote.
