Mexican Street Corn Slather
This is that creamy sauce for Mexican street corn toppings used on elotes (or street corn on the cob).
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Mexican Crema (if you can find it)
- 1/2 cup Hellmann's Mayonnaise*
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped (reserve some for garnish toppings)
- 1 teaspoon Tajin** plus extra for toppings
- 2 small limes juice one and cut second one into wedges for serving
- 1/2 cup Cotija cheese for topping
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream (or Crema), mayonnaise, garlic, cilantro, Tajin, and the juice from one lime.
- Using a pastry brush or grilling brush, generously brush the street corn slather onto warm cooked corn on the cob.
- Sprinkle with extra Tajin (if desired) and crumbled Cotija cheese.
- Garnish with extra chopped fresh cilantro.
- Serve while corn is warm with lime wedges to add additional lime juice, if needed.
Notes
*Hellmann's mayonnaise or Dukes mayo, NOT Miracle Whip
**Can substitute smoked paprika
TIP: Cotija cheese is salty, so you may want to let each individual salt and pepper their corn after tasting it.
We also like chopped green onions on our street corn on the cob and elotes off the cob, but it's an optional topping.
