Vegan Street Corn (Mexican Elotes)

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
• ½ cup vegan cotija cheese: if you don’t have the time to make vegan cotija cheese from scratch, I recommend using store-bought vegan feta or vegan ricotta cheese.
  
• 1/3 cup vegan Mexican crema
• 1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise
• 1 lime, juiced
• 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
• 1 tsp tajin seasoning or chili powder (or cayenne pepper)

How to make Vegan Mexican Elotes (Street Corn)

Step 1: Bring a pot with water to boil. Boil the corn for about 5 minutes, or until tender.

Step 2: In a bowl, add the vegan Mexican crema, vegan mayo, and lime juice. Mix until well combined. Set aside.

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.

Step 6: Add vegan cotija cheese, tajin seasoning and cilantro.

Enjoy!
