Elote Salad

Love this! Have already passed along the recipe to a few other people. I did buy the Trader Joe’s frozen roasted corn to save some work. It is so yummy. Thank you!

This salad is so tasty! perfect side dish for many Mexican dishes. We had it with steak tacos and everyone enjoyed!

Awesome! Because I had a 10oz bag of frozen, fire roasted corn, I used that so I started at step 2. The recipe on the bag said to bake the corn on a baking sheet for 8min, stirring halfway through. So after letting the sauce meld for almost an hour, mixed this into the warm corn. Neither of us had Elote before - and loved it. Will keep this for future Mexican themed menus and might try on the grill come summer! Thanks BmanS1965!

Excellent and super easy game day recipe! I took a few shortcuts due to timing and made a few minor mods; no time to grill so I used two bags of TJ's frozen organic sweet corn, sauteed in butter until nice and brown and for the sauce I added 1 C of sour cream and I doubled the spices but could have easily tripled them. For the hot sauce I used Chipotle Tabasco, about 1 T. An entire wedge of cotija cheese then garnished with more cilantro, more cotija, lime wedges and a l'il chopped red bell pepper for color and a good sprinkling of smoked paprika. Our guests raved about it. Bonus--this dish is yummy hot or at room temp so it is the perfect dish if you have lots of guests so it can sit a while and just get better as the cheese softens.

I think the chile powder and paprika need doubled but other than that I wouldn't change a thing. This was excellent and so much easier to eat.
