Elotes Mexican Street Corn

Grilled Mexican Street Corn is one of the ultimate summer side dishes! This homemade version is just as good as the elote corn you'll find from the vendors in Mexico. When served at parties and cookouts it will be the first thing to go!

Elotes finished with mayonnaise, crema, cotija, cilantro and Mexican hot sauce.

What is an Elote?

Elotes, also known as grilled Elote Mexicano, Mexican street corn, or Mexican grilled corn, is a popular Mexican street food. “Elote” means “corn on the cob” in Spanish, and the recipe consists of corn on the cob that has been grilled and slathered with a mayo or crema sauce, topped with Cotija cheese, and dusted with chili powder.

In Mexico, it is sold to locals and tourists from street carts much like pretzels or hot dogs in New York. Once you try elotes for the first time you'll be wondering "Where has this been all my life?!"

It's perfectly juicy and crisp, it has a delicious balance of sweet and spicy heat, the creamy coating with a zip of lime and chili powder perfectly compliments it's mellow flavor, and the cheese finish makes it amazingly crave-worthy.

This is a side dish you do not want to miss out on! I'd dare say it's a summer staple and should regularly be added to the dinner rotation.

Chicken in White Wine Sauce

Chicken in White Wine Sauce - it's one of the most delicious ways to finish pan seared chicken! And you'll love that it's simple enough for a weekday, yet impressive enough for a weekend dinner with guests! This post is sponsored by Danish Creamery. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Chicken with the Best White Wine Sauce Chicken breasts are pan seared until perfectly browned and tender. Then finely diced onions are sautéed until they've picked up some color. Next, bright white wine and chicken broth are added and simmered to concentrate their flavor. Last but not least, the sauce is polished off with rich butter. And we don't just use any ordinary butter. Here we use the ultra delicious, extra luxurious Danish Creamery European Style Butter Danish Creamery European Style Butter which is slow churned in small batches for a velvety texture and rich flavor. The unique thing I love about this butter is that they've been using the same recipe since 1985!
