I’m Aussie so I’ve been going through so many videos of elote recipes and I go straight to the comments to see if it’s authentic and so many mexicans were saying it was made wrong until I came to yours and all your comments are positive so now I’m going to use your recipe and make it so I can taste them for the very first time. They look delicious!!!
Leo Lai thank you so much for watching and I’m honored for your willingness to try my family’s recipe. ❤️ This was the standard way my mom prepared them for her restaurant, but she was always happy to customize them. There’s many different ways to prepare them, so have fun experimenting with different topping combinations until you found your favorite version using local ingredients in you area. Sending tons of positivity your way Leo 🙌🤗
You don't use margarine, this is not the most authentic.and you're suppose to put melted butter on it, not put better in the water. Who said this was authentic? Lol
?? You’re two years late but I still haven’t made these yet lol will definitely use butter as I dont like margarine myself but thanks for reminding me about this recipe lol and to answer your question, other videos online have copped really negative comments from mexicans but two years ago, this video was the first that I saw that had only positive comments as well as a few mexicans praise it too which is why i said what i said. If authentic is the word I shouldn’t use then I’d instead say the recipe is good enough for me.
Like most other Mexican recipes, there are many variations . . . and, just like Italian food . . . every family has its own "favorite" recipe. So you aren't going to necessarily find the one "authentic" recipe -- every one is "authentic" unless it deviates substantially (like substituting parmesan cheese for the cotija). When I do elote, it's mostly done along the lines of this recipe, but I mix the mayo, crema, and some homemade ancho chile powder to which I add some fresh squeezed lime juice. Then I slather it onto the cooked corn (but NEVER cook corn for 40 minutes!! 10 minutes MAX), layer on the cotija cheese and dust liberally with Tajin (chile-lime-salt seasoning). Yummy!
Lol a street vendor once told my grandmother to add a small amount of sugar to the water that the corn will be added to. It make the corn sweet. We’ve done it ever since.
Don’t know how I’m just finding out about your channels all recipes are authentic Mexican dishes and or snacks but explained in English! I love it 🙃 gracias
Irene Magana thank you beautiful that means a lot & welcome to our Fusion Fam❤️🌏 ! It’s fun being able to share our cultures goodies with others. 👍 My Irish cousins on my dad’s side are always surprised how diverse Mexican and Vietnamese food is. 😋 Have a great weekend!
My mom adds sugar into the water to make them come out sweet and we put mayo, cotija cheese and cayenne powder on the corn and it taste so good! I’ve never tried it with crema but looks good
First person I’ve found on RU-vid to use the melted margarine! My fav! Thankyou for sharing this! Mouth is soo watery. Been trying to figure out what the melted yellow stuff was for years now. None of my Mexican friend can tell me what it is.
missyingster aww thank you sweetheart you made my day! I’m so happy you found my mom’s recipe helpful. These would be great for a Memorial Day bbq. 😋 Have a great weekend! 🙌❤️😘
Oh man THANK YOU!!! I'm Vietnamese and Im addicted to them like your husband! I like how you didnt just use mayo like many LA vendors do, these look crazy good. I'll try making them this weekend. Keep it up!
Jimmy Huynh thank you for always being so encouraging! I’m so happy you liked this recipe! Elotes are always so good. Hope you have a great weekend 🌽❤️🙌🤗
My favorite girl cooking my favorite food on my favorite day (my day off) I enjoyed the vid like always but now I have to go to the store. It cost me money every time I watch your videos but i can’t stop because everything taste great
Roy Smith hi sweetie! Aww thank you for your sweet comment and for always being so encouraging my friend! I appreciate it more than words can express. If there’s ever a recipe you want me to try just let me know! Have a blessed day 🙏❤️ 🤗🌎🙌
Myra Lopez thanks mija 😘 when we were kids my mom would make them for my brother and me in vasos to avoid us making a mess 🤣 Mom’s always have the best tricks!
I had elotes at the Tastes of Chicago Parade when I was a kid. That's the only time I had them and I STILL remember that taste! I can't wait to make these! 💖 Thank you for sharing!!!
Yum, my favorite street food when I was in Mexico. I love them even better when they are roasted in charcoal. I make them for my family, but I mix mayo or creama with lemon juice, paprika, chilly powder, chipotle, salt what ever they like, so they can just coat the elote and as much as they want. Damn, I want to go to the grocery store to get some elotes right now :-) Cheers, well may be not...... Just kidding you made me crave this fabulous snack
M Z yum 😋 your way sounds so delicious! The hubby and me are big foodies so I’ll be trying them your way sometime. 👍 Elotes always make me break my diet! We’ve been known to chase down an elote vendor when we’re not even hungry. ❤️🌽 🙈😅
mzbrazell hola amiga! Aww you’re welcome and thank you for watching! ❤️ There’s just something so soul satisfying and comforting about freshly made elotes. 🌽Have a beautiful weekend sweetie! 🙌🙏😘
I just made these and they came out great!! I thought it was to long to boil the corn for 40 mins, but nope it came out great, soft, and buttery tasting. You got a new subscriber 😉
I really like leaving them in the husk and cooking them in the oven. They are crunchier that way... And now, heading to la tienda... Yum!!! Thanks for the post!
Pandora Fox cooking them in the oven is a great idea. I’ll have to try that this winter once the weather cools. 👍 Thank you for the idea and for watching. ❤️😘🌽
LaVieJolie Thanks! The husks will look burnt and that's fine. You can also do this on the BBQ grill. We put them on after the meat or veg. Also new sub!
Doris White thank you for watching. I can relate. Once we left LA we no longer had the convenience of an elotes vendor in our neighborhood. I agree, a squeeze of lime is a perfect way to top it all off and brighten this treat! Have fun making them and enjoy your day Doris! ☺️❤️✌️
Hi, I’m from the other side of the world, New Zealand and I would love to make this but we don’t sell those sorts of spices, Mexican cream or Cojita cheese here at our local stores. Can you suggest a website to buy them from? Or alternatives?
Heyhey, I really want to try this, I'm in South Africa so can't find the cheese u using, any substitute for the cheese? And the parkey butter product thing?
Yesss this is one of the few recipes I've seen on here that actually uses cayenne pepper. Taijin and chili powder are hot, but the heat hits your mouth different, cayenne is EXACTLY how the heat hits from the elotero.
When you placed your corn in the pot With a butter, the heat was off right? Because you said after 40 minutes that’s when you removed it. Because 40 minutes is way too long to be boiling corn.
Maiz con mantequilla y cheese🌽🌽😍👍. I love...it. Oohh...that crunchy sound. The way you cook delicious food for your hubby, he has not gained any weight? I know I would. 🤣😁💯
Carlo Nati I know Mexican elotes🌽 are my Achilles heel and make me break my diet every time without fail 🤣🙈 TBH we’ve both have gained weight over the years, but he’s really great about working out whereas I need to jump back on the exercise wagon....once you fall off it’s harder to get back on! 😅
is the parkay really what the corn man uses? I always thought that white/yellowish thing was some type of squeeze cheese. never knew it was just margarine lol
Elote is good when the corn is good. I just boil an ear and roll it around in a bit of mayo, s&p, some mayo and whatever cheesr I havve on hand + a dash of chili powder. Yum.
Tom & Jerry's Vlogs Yupe they’re getting harder to come by nowadays! When we still lived in the SGV area my husband would run out after the Elote man! Good times, I miss those days! 🤣❤️
I use to get these on soccer Sunday lol every weekend but I think they only used Mayo stinky cheese (grated Parmesan cheese) and Cayenne pepper. I don’t like the red stuff so I leave that off.
Boil the water and put the corn in for 40 minutes? 40 minutes? Are we boiling it for 40 minutes or putting it in boiling water, turning off the heat, and letting the corn set in the hot water for 40 minutes? I typically boil corn about 10 minutes and it's done.
SpeakMyMind500 hi sweetie, yes of course. There’s many corn vendors that prepare them that way. It’s just a matter of personal taste. If you like them with just mayo then there’s no right or wrong way. Thank you for watching and trying my favorite Mexican snack 🤗🙌👍❤️
Merrisa Marin hi sweetie, thank you for watching. ❤️ To film both my vlogs & recipe videos I use the Canon Powershot GX7 Mark II: amzn.to/2q9CbZH . It’s a handy little camera. 👍😊
Hi sweetheart! Yes, you can actually. 👍 For the Mexican cream look for a brand called, “cacique” if they happen to not carry it sour cream works great too! Thank you for watching and let me know if you have any questions. ✌️❤️😘
Nice recipe . . . but why not use the water you boiled the corn on the cob to cook the elote cut off the cob? Makes more sense if you're going to do both at about the same time.
tai phan hey sweetie no worries I completely understand. Elotes are a pretty heavy snack 😅 There’s certain foods that upset my stomach, which I stay far away from too for the same reason. Hope you’re having a good weekend sweetheart! I promise next week’s recipe will be lighter. Sending you a big hug like always ❤️🤗🙌🙏
