Elotes de Feria
Chef Hugo Raya, La Mar food truck

“Elotes de feria are a savoury street food treat enjoyed at festivals across Mexico. This corn on a stick is dressed with a creamy and spicy sauce. Be sure to have lots of napkins on hand as the fun is in the messines!” – Hugo Raya

5 cobs yellow corn, peeled
3 T canola oil
1 clove garlic, minced
3 c queso fresco or feta cheese, grated
1 pinch salt
½ T chili powder (Tajín)
1 pinch pepper
5 wood or steel sticks for corn (or forks)

Mix the sour cream, garlic, salt and pepper in one bowl. Cover corn with oil using a brush and place on BBQ grill for 5 minutes each side until soft and brown. Stick the corn with the wooden or steel holders. Cover the corn with the cream mixture, sprinkle with cheese and the Tajin clili powder. Enjoy!
