Wondering What is Elote?
Elote is a delicious Mexican street food made by grilling corn and then brushing it with a mixture of creamy Mayo and tangy Mexican crema. This mouth-watering dish is topped with crumbled cotija cheese, spicy chili powder, fresh lime juice, and fragrant cilantro. Combining these ingredients creates a flavor explosion that will leave your taste buds tingling with excitement. I first tasted Elote on a cruise trip to Ensenada and have been obsessed with it ever since. I often enjoy it as a dip, but I’m taking things up a notch today by transforming it into a topping for creamy avocado toast. The avocado’s creamy, buttery flavor perfectly complements the tangy and spicy flavors of the Elote, making it an ideal breakfast, brunch, or light meal option. So, if you want to experience the amazing flavors of Elote and avocado toast for yourself, try this recipe and enjoy a truly unique and delicious culinary adventure!
Ingredients required
Corn: Use fresh or frozen. Jalapeno—You can add it according to your spice level. You can substitute it with serrano peppers or skip it if you are making it for kids. Seasonings – I have used Trader Joe’s Everything But The Elote Seasoning Blend. You can substitute it with chili powder, salt, and cumin powder. Garlic – gives excellent flavors. Chop them very finely or grate them. Dairy: Mayo and sour cream. To make it a bit healthier, you can use Greek yogurt instead of Mayo. Traditionally, Mexican crema is used to make this dip, but since I had sour cream in my fridge, I used that. Butter – for sautéing garlic, jalapeno, and corn. You can use oil instead of butter. Cilantro is a very aromatic herb and a must for this recipe. Lemon juice –to balance out the flavors of dairy products. Cheese—traditionally, Cotija is used. As cojita cheese is not vegetarian, I have substituted it with vegetarian feta cheese. You can also use parmesan cheese. Avocado: Make sure to use ripe and good-quality avocados. Bread—I like to use sourdough bread to make avocado toast, but feel free to use your choice of bread. Olive oil – To toast the bread. Other toppings—I used homemade pickled onions and homemade chipotle southwest sauce, but feel free to use store-bought ones.
