Wondering what are Elotes? No worries, we are here to tell you. Elotes are Corn on the cob popular as Mexican street food. They are sweet, spicy, creamy, cheesy, juicy in short a burst of flavors all at one time.
We have twisted the flavors a little and gave it some Italian touch by using Parmesan cheese instead of traditional Cojita cheese and spicing it up even more with the Peri-Peri spice mix.
