Helpful Tips
- Corn to use – You can use corn on the cob or canned corn for this recipe, its up to you. To make it a quick and easy recipe we are using canned corn. You can also char the corn to add a smoky flavor if you want.
- Choose the Right Cheese – Traditional elote uses cotija cheese, which has a salty, crumbly texture. If you can’t find cotija, feta or grated Parmesan makes a great substitute.
- Adjust the Spice to Your Taste – Some like it mild, and some like it fiery! You can leave the seeds and ribs out of the jalapenos to your spice preference.
