Elote (Mexican Street Corn)

cotija cheese

🥗Healthier: feta cheese

💰Cheaper: parmesan cheese

Feta provides a similar crumbly texture, while parmesan is more affordable.

Simmer corn on the cob in salted water for 5 to 10 minutes or grill for 5 to 6 minutes until tender.

Brush the cooked corn with mayonnaise to coat it.

Season the corn with chili lime dust, lime zest, salt, and pepper.

Top the corn with chopped cilantro, crumbled cotija cheese, and toasted pepitas for crunch.

Drizzle with ancho chili aioli and add more seasoning if desired.
