Sweet K All Things Yummy: Elote

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. 🙂

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces sweet corn
  • 4 tbsps sour cream I prefer more

Instructions

  • Prep the corn by removing the husk and silk.

  • In a bowl mix the sour cream and mayonnaise.
  • Coat the corn in the melted butter and then brush with the mayo mixture.

I use chopsticks for handles.
You can buy Tajin powder in S&R, Unimart, and other big supermarkets.
