Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Elote is traditional Mexican grilled sweet corn on the cob. Serve with sour cream and an extra sprinkle of ground red pepper for even more elote flair.
  • Tip 2
    Want to use fresh corn instead of frozen? No problem! You’ll need 2 1/2 cups fresh kernels (from about 4 ears).
