Mexican Street Corn - Coctel de Elote - Mexican Food

#getmyfatpantson
One of my favorite street foods to eat in Mexico is the Elote's (corn) you find on the street corners. It reminds me a warm summer day walking the streets of Tijuana. It's an awesome treat to eat, sweet, spicy and savory. Once you make these you will be craving them all the time. This recipe is really simple to make.

Grew up in Dallas around Mexican culture and this is my favorite snack still and I'm 47 African American. I learned to cook a lot of Mexican dishes and I moved to rural area to buy my home. My neighbors are Mexican. We are like one big family. They love my food. They tell me it taste authentic and they are teaching me even more recipes. I love Mexican people and their culture they are very family oriented and just very loving people. Tfs

I love Mexican cuisine, but I would NEVER want to live around tons of illegals.

[@ginawiggles918]

Kirby, your channel magically popped up today courtesy of KZbin. What a great find. I watched your cheesy scalloped potato casserole video first, then spotted this one. I LOVE Mexican food & that Coctel de Elote looks yummy. What I'm also looking for is an elote casserole to serve as a side dish the way Lawry's restaurant serves creamed corn with prime rib. Can you whip up something like that? Thanks mucho.💋 Gina in Laguna Niguel.

Looks great. Is it meant to be served cold? Is it ever served warm? I've seen it with chopped brisket on top. So cold with warm brisket on top? Thanks.

[@CookingwithKirby]

It can be served hot or cold, that really depends on the street vendor you find. Some elote vendors just have a basket with the corn in a bucket attached to a bicycle and others that have carts with propane burners cooking the corn in a pot.

Yes you can, usually that is how you will find cojita cheese.

Hey Kirby did you change websites cause when I click on it it asks if you want to purchase the domain just thought I would ask

[@ednacrafts9979]

Sorry Kirby, but in Mexico they use cream ( you can find that in the Mexican markets sometimes in regular stores in the international section. There is a big difference.

[@CookingwithKirby]

Hi Edna, some vendors use Mayo, that depends what they can afford. Mayo diluted in lime juice also.

I have to use fresh corn, I cook in microwave, then char it on gas range, then cut it off.

[@paisteplayer1040]

Fresh corn steamed is always better if you can get fresh

[@chilloften]

My daughter from TX keeps telling me to find the Mexican street corn dip at the grocery, I am not finding it. Then on YT it’s hard to know which is authentic, because I’m authentic. Some use cream cheese, some don’t.

[@CookingwithKirby]

When it comes to authenticity, the only thing I added that you wouldn't see at a street vendor in Mexicali is cilantro and tajin. They use a chili powder but it's a Mexican brand from over the border. The butter might be another ingredient the vendors might not have, but some do. I live 20 mins from Mexicali, BC Mx. The main ingredient to street corn are Mayo, cotija cheese, and chile armor. Depending how the vendors budget, you will get different condiments. Of course that's what I see by California, that may differ in different regions of Mexico. I hope this helps.

[@kippaseo8027]

YES! In my younger days My friends and I would Fly from Miami to go in party in San Diego. My friends and I would frequently take trips over the border to Tijuana. They would go to get drunk but I would go to get fat. 10 or 15 years ago if you were to try and describe Mexican street Cor no to anyone East of Texas texas you would be served with looks of confusion and Disgust. Many's and cheese with corn??? A couple I was going to fall out of the booth at chili's when I saw they had Mexican street corn on the menu.. Not only did I force everyone at the table to order I also made them sit through the stories of me sucking down large quantities of it well my friends were Making asses out of themselves at 1 of the Tijuana tit*y bars. I could drink warm tequila and look at dancing hookers in Miami but I CAN'T Get good Mexican food here. I've had very similar versions to this one before but my favorite version had black beans added to it which may B weird 2 some but as a Cuban I saw it added an elegant touch🤣. Another awesome idea Kirby keep them coming!✌🌴

Im definitely passed that life style, I wouldn't hang with the best of them on a good day. If your ever in the San Diego area again, reach out to me. I know some great spots in Mexicali, Baja California. I suggest coming in the winter, our springs and summers are brutal. LOL
