ELOTES (MEXICAN CORN IN A CUP)
I grew up just outside of a Mexican border town, and at least twice month my grandmother would take me across the border to do some shopping. I remember the food stands found at every corner street and almost all of them sold elotes. It was one of my favorite vendor foods. Every time I make it, I am reminded of my childhood.

SAVORY PEPITA PAN DE ELOTE (MEXICAN CORNBREAD) WITH CHARRED POBLANO BUTTER RECIPE BY TASTY
Inspired by the classic Mexican sweet treat pan de elote, this cornbread is vastly different from traditional American cornbread, with its fluffy, cake-like texture that is normally very sweet and light. This gluten-free, savory version of pan de elote is studded with toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) for added texture and excitement. In a non-traditional twist, this holiday side is served with a smoky, salty, buttery spread made from charred poblano peppers and salty Cotija cheese.

Steps:
- Make the charred poblano butter: Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Place the poblanos on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly. Roast the peppers, using tongs to rotate every 10 minutes, until the peppers are well-charred and browned all over, about 30 minutes total. Immediately transfer the poblanos to a medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam for 10-15 minutes to loosen the skins.
- Remove a pepper from the bowl and re-cover the remaining peppers. Use your hands (wear gloves if you have sensitive skin) to peel off the charred skin and discard, along with the seeds. Place the pepper flesh into a separate bowl and repeat with the remaining peppers. Do not rinse the peppers to remove the seeds or skin; it will wash away that charred flavor. Let the peppers cool.
- Transfer the poblanos to a food processor, along with the butter, Cotija cheese, cilantro, salt, lime zest, and lime juice. Process on high speed until completely smooth. Season with more salt and lime juice to taste if needed, then transfer to an airtight container and cover. Set aside at room temperature if using the same day, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- Make the pepita pan de elote: Reduce the oven temperature 350˚F (180˚C). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
- Add the corn kernels and crema Mexicana to a food processor and process on high speed until creamy, yet chunky in texture, about 30 seconds.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the masa harina, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer on high speed to cream the butter until soft, about 30 seconds. Add the sugar and egg yolks and continue beating until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the corn mixture and beat to combine. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined, then mix in the pepitas until just incorporated.
- In a separate medium bowl, use the hand mixer with clean, dry beaters to whip the egg whites until they hold stiff, glossy peaks, 1-2 minutes.
- Add about ¼ of the egg whites at a time to the corn batter and gently fold with a rubber spatula, taking care not to deflate the egg whites, until just incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.
- Bake the pan de elote for about 40 minutes, until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the edges of the cake are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Serve the pepita pan de elote with the charred poblano butter alongside.
- Enjoy!

TORTA DE ELOTE
Every family in Mexico has its own version of this traditional soft corn bread. The classic recipe here is my favorite. Enjoy it as is, or experiment with sweet and savory versions by adding dried fruit or chopped jalapeños. Top sweeter versions with Creamed Rajas (page 188); savory versions are great with salsas. No matter how you make it, this Mexican delight is a perfect side for carne asada.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with the melted butter. Using an electric mixer, beat the 12 tablespoons butter and the sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, blending well after each addition. Set aside, still in the mixer bowl.
- Combine half of the corn kernels and half of the milk in a blender and puree to make a coarse creamy mixture. Transfer it to a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining corn and milk.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
- Alternate adding the corn puree and the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
- Using a clean electric mixer, whip the egg whites on high speed to form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the corn mixture. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the corn bread cool slightly. Then cut it into squares and serve warm.
Tips:
- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
- Be sure to grease the baking pan well to prevent the cornbread from sticking.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough.
- Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
- Serve the cornbread warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
Conclusion:
Pan de elote is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great addition to potlucks and picnics. With its sweet and savory flavor, pan de elote is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting bread recipe, give pan de elote a try!
