Oaxacan Street Corn

Posted by: on Feb 20, 2016

From Sarah Voiland, 2014

You can make this with grilled, oven-roasted, boiled, or steamed corn. I first had this from street vendors in Oaxaca, where they call it elote. This is my adaptation.corn

Ears of cooked corn
Mayonaise (opt: you can add chopped garlic to it or make an aioli)
Chili powder and/or Cayenne Pepper
Crumbled or grated Cotija cheese (or feta)
Fresh lime
Salt if desired

Spread a thin (or thick) layer of mayo on your corn. Roll in crumbled cheese. Sprinkle with cayenne and chili powder.

This is a great item to set up in a buffet so people can do it themselves. Put out a bowl of lime wedges – the juice adds a lightness and tang that is key. Bite and flavor to your tastes! Feel free to experiment with different spices and cheeses.
