Corn Eloté

Why Should You Make Elote En Vaso?

  • Authentic. Tastes just like your favorite Mexican street food.
  • Portable - Much cleaner than eating traditional elote.

What is Mexican Corn Eloté?

Eloté is popular Mexican street food. It's basically just corn on the cob that has been grilled or boiled, and slathered with a delightful sauce, various seasonings, and cheese. It's quite simple yet incredibly delectable.

Though traditional Mexican Corn Eloté is typically served on the cob and grilled, I decided to simplify the dish by using frozen corn and by cooking it in the air fryer.

Using frozen corn saves time and effort while cooking it in the air fryer saves you from having to fire up the grill. Not to mention the air fryer gives you a similar texture to grilling the corn.

What Is the Difference Between Elotes and Esquites?

Elote

Elote is full ears of corn coated with traditional delicious toppings. This is an amazing Mexican street food that is as fun to eat as it is delicious.

Esquites

Esquites is an easier to eat, but still delicious take on elote. It is also known as Mexican corn in a cup or elote in a cup.

What Is Elote Made Of?

  • Frozen Corn
  • (2 tablespoons) Butter
  • Sour cream
  • mayonnaise
  • shredded parmesan cheese, or feta cheese, cotija cheese or queso fresco
  • Lemon Juice
  • Mexican Chili Powder
  • Cooking Oil Spray

How To Make Mexican Corn In A Cup

  1. Put corn directly in air fryer basket or in a heatproof pan if your air fryer has large holes in the tray.
  2. Place frozen corn in the bottom of the air fryer basket. Spray with oil.
  3. Cook in the air fryer for 10 minutes.
  4. Mix in sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded cheese, lemon juice, and chili powder, and serve.

How Do You Eat Elote?

Just dig in. When it comes to eating this Mexican corn, there really aren't many rules. If you eat it on the cob, make sure you have a napkin (or three).

If you choose to eat Mexican corn in a cup, mix it up well and make sure you get some of the creamy goodness from the butter and mayo in every bite.

How Do I Make Elote Without An Air Fryer?

No air fryer, no problem. You can get the same flavors by boiling the corn to cook it. It won't have the same crisp bite as the air fryer version, but it will taste just as delicious.

Haven't eaten it before? If you've never had it, Mexican Corn Eloté can sound quite odd. But I assure you, it is absolutely to die for. Just cook up a batch next taco Tuesday or cook some up as a delicious vegetarian friendly snack and see for yourself!
