Corn season is almost here, and we’re ready with this easy Elote recipe featuring Honey Orange Chintestle Mayo—our take on classic Mexican street corn.
Serves 2
Ingredients
-
2 ears of fresh corn, husked
-
½ jar Ya Oaxaca Honey Orange Chintestle (HOC)
-
cup mayonnaise
-
½ cup cotija cheese, crumbled
-
1 tablespoon chili powder
-
1 lime, cut into wedges
-
Sea salt, to taste
Instructions
-
Prep the corn:
Husk the corn. If grilling, brush each ear of corn lightly with olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. -
Cook the corn:
Grill or steam! Grill the corn over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until nicely charred and cooked through—about 10–12 minutes. Or steam it in a pot of water for extra tenderness. -
Make the Honey Orange Chintestle mayo:
In a small bowl, mix ½ jar of ¡Ya Oaxaca! Honey Orange Chintestle with mayo until smooth and spreadable. -
Assemble your elote:
While the corn is still hot, slather each ear with the smoky mayo. Roll or sprinkle with cotija cheese, dust with chili powder, and finish with a squeeze of lime. -
Serve & enjoy:
Best eaten immediately while warm. Serve with extra lime wedges and a napkin—things might get deliciously messy.
