Our New Year's Eve Good Luck Treat

in #cooking7 years ago

Have you ever had Elote? Mexican street corn to be exact. With Houston being the multicultural metropolis that it is, there are only a handful of what I consider to be tickets to Elote paradise. So I decided to make my own. Granted, it will never taste as good as the wizards at the Elote shops, but it's getting better every time.

Here's a peak into last night's attempt:

I used standard yellow corn, the best is white corn, but also hard to find:

I cleaned the corn and popped them into my Instapot. The best Elote is grilled in a cast iron rolling grill like one of these bad boys:

But that doesn't fit in an RV, so I used this little guy:

4 ears of corn
1 1/4 cup of water
Manual pressure cooker for 8 minutes

Then I made the cream mixture, mixing Mexican crema and a bit of mayonnaise with salt, onion, and garlic powder to taste:

I crumbled queso fresco to shimmy on top:

When the corn was finished cooking, I buttered it, slathered it with cream, sprinkled the cheese, and dashed it with chili powder.

The end result was delicious!

Surprisingly, I have never had this. I lived Salinas, which has a huge Hispanic population and it was certainly available. I will have to give it a try.

Anyone who shimmies and slathers gets my vote! Nice job!

lol! When your working with cheese and cream its the only way! ;)

I'd love to know what you think of it when you try it!

You will be the first to know! Happy New Year.
