What is Elote Corn?

Elote, which means corn in Spanish, is a beloved street food in Mexico. The classic Elote features corn on the cob slathered in butter, mayonnaise, cotija cheese, and chili powder. However, we're giving it a spicy and addictive twist by replacing chili powder with Flamin Hot Cheetos. Prepare yourself for a burst of flavor!
Best Served Grilled
While corn on the cob is often best enjoyed grilled, we understand that not everyone has access to an outdoor grill. Fear not, as this recipe provides an alternative method using boiling. However, feel free to adapt it to your grilling preferences.

Ingredients 

  • Fresh corn on the cob (shucked)
  • Mayonnaise
  • 2 Limes
  • Flamin' Hot Cheetos (Crunchy or Puffed)
  • Cilantro (Fresh or Dried)

Instructions

Prepare the corn:
  • Fresh corn: Cut the kernels off the cob. Boil 1.5 cups of water with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Add the corn and boil for 3-5 minutes. Drain and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Frozen corn: Heat according to the instructions on the bag, typically microwave or steam for 6 minutes.
Crush the Flamin Hot Cheetos:
  • Place the Flamin Hot Cheetos in a ziplock bag, removing the air from the bag. Crush them using a rolling pin or meat mallet until they become a coarse powder. Transfer the crushed Cheetos to a dish or plate for easy coating.
Prepare the lime wedges:
  • Slice the limes into small wedges, ready to squeeze over the corn later.
Coat the corn:
  • Once the corn is cooked and cooled, spread mayonnaise evenly over each cob, ensuring they are well covered.
  • Roll the corn in the crushed Flamin Hot Cheetos, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
Final touches:
  • Transfer the coated corn onto a serving plate.
  • Squeeze 1 to 2 lime wedges over the corn to add a tangy zest.
  • Sprinkle fresh or dried cilantro on top to enhance the flavors.
