Mexican Street Corn (Elote)

This vibrant Mexican street corn, traditionally known as elote, is a quintessential vegetarian side dish that brings a burst of sunshine to any meal. The combination of sweet maize charred on the grill and a rich, savoury coating creates a wonderful contrast of textures. It remains an enduringly popular street food staple because it perfectly balances salty, spicy, and tangy flavours in every bite.

Perfect for summer barbecues or as a festive accompaniment to a midweek Mexican feast, these corn cobs are incredibly simple to assemble. Using salty feta as a readily available alternative to cotija ensures you can recreate this authentic flavour at home with ease. Serve them piping hot with plenty of fresh lime wedges to cut through the richness of the crema.
