Looking for a way to spice up your corn on the cob? Try this easy elote recipe with a Yumm! twist.

Elote, the Spanish word for corncob, is an iconic street food that can be found at bustling markets, food stands, and town fairs across Mexico. This mouthwatering side dish pairs the sweetness of fresh corn with a creamy, salty, spicy dressing and a hint of bright citrus.

Often grilled until the corn kernels turn juicy and soft with a bit of char, the ears of corn can be steamed instead of grilled if you don’t feel like firing up the coals. Once your corn is cooked through and still warm, simply slather with our special sauce below (yes, made with Jal-Ses Yumm! Salsa®!) and sprinkle with classic toppings to enjoy.
