Corn in a Cup (Elote en Vaso)

 
Corn in a Cup (Elote en Vaso)
corn-in-a-cup
This is Mexican street food at its finest. When I visit El Paso or Mexico the craving of Elote en Vaso steps into high gear. Now anytime I crave this I whip it up at home, except I make it fancy by serving it in a pretty glass in opposition to the traditional Styrofoam cup. No matter how you serve it the taste is sweet, crunchy, fiery and juicy.

Ingredients

    • 8 ears of corn
    • 2 tablespoons per serving
    • 1/4 cup lime juice per serving
    • 1/4 cup crema mexicana
    • 1/4 lb crumbly, salty white cheese (ideally cotija or parmesan, is acceptable)
    • Chili powder
    • Valentina hot sauce
    • Lime wedges for garnish
    • Salt to taste

Instructions

Easy Tip for Getting Corn Off the Cob:
To remove corn kernels from the cob using a bundt pan, stand the shucked corn cob upright, with the tip of cob placed in the center hole of the bundt pan. Holding the cob steady, use a sharp knife and make long downward strokes on the cob, separating the kernels from the cob.

Put the corn in a saucepan with enough salted water to cover. Bring to a boil; let boil for one or two minutes, then drain, turn off the heat, and return to saucepan.

Add 3/4 cup of corn in a glass add butter and stir to melt the butter. Mix in lime juice and crema.

Top with crumbled or grated cheese.

Sprinkle with a good heavy coating of chili powder and salt if desired, though the cheese adds plenty of salt. Mix well.

If you like spicy then add a few drops of some hot sauce for that extra kick of heat.

Serve with a spoon and lime wedges.

Note: This is a very loose recipe. Feel free to adjust the proportions of lime juice, crema, cheese, and spices to taste!
