my childhood best friend was mexican and her family made this alot. i moved away and every time i ate this, it would give me fond memories of her and her family surrounding me with love

I'm Indian, just learned a new way to enjoy corn😤❤.
Thank you Mexicans. We actually have similar food habits in a way, I can definitely see y'all love spices like we do too.

When I went to visit my family in Mexico, everywhere you looked, there would be a man or a woman selling corn with their carts... It was awesome. But there was also a lot of stray dogs. I stayed in my cousins house, and we fed 2 puppies. Everyday, we would see the puppies at the front door. I loved those dogs and I will never forget them.. My cousin told me that they are still there

Corn does not cook / boil in 5 minutes... Around 10 minutes is good usually.

this corn is the truth, anyone who's not Hispanic who grew up in an urban area knows the corn man and this bomb as corn aka elote

I made this today. I mixed the 1/2 cup of mayo with 1/2 cup of crema. It was delicious! The lime juice really brings out the flavors. Soooo good!!! I would probably add a tiny bit of cayenne pepper to round every thing out.

Little to no complaints in the comment section. I'm proud of you guys

[RiotHouseLP]

I don't have to make it because I got a guy that rides his street corn bike down my neighborhood nearly everyday ringing his bell. Delicious!

[miss.g-shun-w]

I like when the corn is cut off the cob and all the ingredients are mixed in a cup or bowl. That little Mexican stand outside of Fuel City in Dallas has the best!

Let me tell you Mexican street elotes are way better then this video shows

[j.delacruzbravo]

actually, the Pico de Gallo chile powder is what they use on elote, not Tajin. Tajin is used mostly on fruit and beer and has a tangier flavor.

At our local swapmeets and flea markets you can usually buy this,  but not on the stock and instead in a cup. They also have various sauces and spices to mix in. It goes good with lemon/lime and chili salt.

I want to see how messy the person who took a bites face is. My face is always messy when I eat this.

[imaanfayz]

this is the first recipe they make which is actually mexican. not a watered down american version

[abyssreyes]

i realized I'm the only Mexican that puts tajin in their corn

[texquin]

Looks great! If you steam the corn for 20 minutes, instead of boiling, it's so much more crunchy!

[Desuwarrior]

people are gonna complain about this one I bet

[STEPHANIEDAVID]

All these food experts!😒😒😒😂😂 obviously not everyone in Mexico makes corn the same way. This is one of the ways you can make it. I'm from Chihuahua and we do put butter on it, or mayo, or both and limon and either chile en polvo or liquido, it's all personal choice. I've never tried it with crema but I'm not saying it's wrong i actually wanna try it with crema now lol

[JAKrazyworld]

I just tasted this for the first time today and oh my my life has changed. I will definitely be making this on the regular.

[nanascott]

love this corn so much and I am African American I want one right now
