Elote, Ready For Dippin’

If you’ve ever had elote before, then do I have a treat for you. If you don’t know what elote is, let me explain before we dive into this deliciousness.

Elote is a Mexican street corn. Typically it’s a grilled cob covered in butter and mayo, followed by cotija cheese, chili powder/hot sauce, and some lime juice. Needless to say, it’s amazing.
