Even though this recipe calls for cooking the corn, you can use a grill too for that nice, smoky flavor.
Ingredients for Vegan Mexican Elotes (Street Corn)
- 4 corns on the cob, husk removed

- 1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp tajin seasoning or chili powder (or cayenne pepper)

Step 3: Chop the cilantro, set aside.
Step 4: When the corn is cooked, remove from the pot, let slightly cook off.
Step 5: Brush the vegan Mexican crema mixture over the corn.
