Elote Appetizer from the Elote Cafe image

I had the pleasure of dining in The Elote Cafe in Sedona and met Chef Jeff Smedstad, formerly of Los Sombreros in Scottsdale. Reservations are not accepted and his foodie fans start lining up at 4:30, just to get a seat! I loved the food so much, I bought his cookbook and had it autographed. P.S. Jeff, you rocked my world too! ;^P ___ *Prep time is based on grilling, shucking, cooling.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 ears corn, husks intact
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon cholula brand hot sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup chicken stock

2 teaspoons cilantro, chopped, for garnish
pure ground red chili pepper, for garnish
crispy tortilla chips, for scooping

Steps:

  • Over a medium-high grill, roast the corn until the husks are well charred, about 5 minutes. Turn occasionally so as not to burn the side contacting the direct heat.
  • Set the roasted ears aside until cool enough to handle, then shuck them.
  • Cut the kernels off the cob.
  • When ready to eat, mix the mayo, hot sauce, lime juice, pepper, salt and chicken stock in a sauté pan over medium heat.
  • Add the corn kernels and warm through,.
  • Pour into a bowl and garnish with the cheese, cilantro and ground chili.
  • Serve immediately with crispy tortilla chips.
