    Grilled Mexican Street Corn with a Dairy-Free Twist on Cheesy Elote

    0
    By Contributed on July 29, 2021 Dairy-Free Recipes, Sides

    Elote is a grilled Mexican street corn that involves slathering corn on the cob with mayonnaise or crema, and then sprinkling it with spices and cojita cheese. This vegan recipe takes the middle ground, substituting dairy-free cream cheese for the blend of mayonnaise and cojita. It also uses milder herbs, instead of hot spices. The result is a similar rich, cheesy coating that pairs well with almost any meal.

    Don’t be afraid to mix up the herbs and spices in this grilled corn recipe. If you don’t have pink pepper, you can substitute cracked black pepper, a pinch of cayenne, smoked paprika, or simply omit it. If you’re pairing with a Mexican meal, you can use cilantro for the herbs. Or, use whatever fresh herbs you have on hand.

    If you have any leftover corn, cut it off the cob, and put it in a container with the remaining garlic and herb cream cheese alternative. You can heat and stir them together for a delicious side or lunch bowl topping. If you have more cream cheese than corn, stir in some other cooked vegetables, like chopped peas, carrots, or cauliflower, and possibly your favorite protein.
