Elote is grilled corn on the cob slathered with mayonnaise and garnished with chili powder and fresh lime juice sprinkled all over with salty Cotija cheese and cilantro.
It tastes sweet, savoury, tangy and spicy all at once. The mayo becomes more like a creamy sauce, absorbing the flavour of the chili powder, cotija cheese and lime juice. It's tangy without overpowering the corn. The combination of sweet and slightly charred corn with the spicy sauce was good. This is a little messy to eat but worth every bite.
