I like Elotes, or Mexican road corn. It’s candy, it’s salty and it will probably have somewhat spice and warmth to it as nicely! Elote is usually served corn on the cob-style.

Elotes makes a terrific facet dish for all kinds of meals. I like it alongside baked hen, BBQ hen or steak. Do-it-yourself Elotes takes only some elements and will be made in about quarter-hour!
