More About This Recipe

  • Corn is such a versatile food. It can be enjoyed freshly steamed or grilled, and in both savory and sweet dishes. Elote asado or grilled corn on the cob reminds me of visiting my family during summer vacations in Mexico. I remember walking through the small plazas where you would commonly see street foods of all kinds, like tacos, tamales, raspas and, of course, elotes asados.
