Charred corn tossed in a creamy, tangy dressing with cotija and chilli — all the flavour of elote, spooned into cups instead of on the cob.
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Heat the oil in a skillet or grill pan over high heat and char the corn for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly blackened in spots.
- In a bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chilli powder and salt.
- Toss the warm corn in the dressing, then spoon into small cups.
- Top each cup with cotija, a pinch more chilli powder and cilantro.
Notes
Frozen corn works well here — no need to thaw, just char it a minute or two longer.
