Roasted the corn on the grill after doing some chicken legs. Also roasted a red bell ,green bell and two jalapenos to help kick it up a notch. Here is a pic before the cheese ,cilantro and sauce was added. INGREDIENTS:

• 6 Ears of Corn, husked
• 1/3 Cup Crema *see note for substitution

I love elote, eat it 2-3 times a month at my favorite taco joint. Been wanting to make this, it hit me at the right time. Thank you, thank you !!!

Oh yum. Just in time for the fresh-grown corn in our area to make its debut.

Substitute for the crema? Would that be creme fraiche? I make crema from this recipe.

Thanks, customtrim .

fzxdoc the recipe says you can use just sour cream. Or mayo or a combination so that's what I ended up with. The roasted peppers made a nice ed addition to it

Here's another homemade crema recipe: https://www.finecooking.com/recipe/h...can-sour-cream . If memory serves, it's similar to Kenji' homemade creme fraiche.
