How to Make Street Corn (Elote) at Home

This easy elote recipe takes just 15 minutes. Follow these simple steps to enjoy your new favorite side dish:

Step 1: Prep the Corn

Shuck your corn and remove the kernels from the cob. You’ll get about 3–4 cups of kernels, depending on the size of your corn.

Step 2: Sauté

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter, then add the corn. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to char slightly. This gives your street corn its smoky flavor.

Step 3: Add the Cream

Reduce heat to low. Stir in the mayonnaise until the corn is well coated and creamy.

Step 4: Mix in the Flavor

Add crumbled cotija cheese, smoked paprika, green onion, parsley, and salt and pepper. Stir until combined. Cook for another 1–2 minutes to warm everything through.

Step 5: Serve

Scoop into a bowl or serve individually. Top with extra cheese or paprika if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the flavor of authentic Mexican street corn at home!
