When I first made this super easy, yummy Mexican street corn salad, I had never had Elotes or Mexican Street Corn. I wanted to try this summer treat so badly that I just went out and quickly whipped it up.
If you never had Elotes or Mexican Street Corn, it consists of corn, white queso cheese, cilantro, limes, mayo, and tajin seasoning. It’s a popular summer treat served on a stick. Normally, you would first slab the mayo onto the corn on the cob add the tajin seasoning, lime juice and sprinkle the queso cheese over the top.
I have no idea where to find this treat in my neighborhood and I wasn’t sure where to find the chili lime seasoning but I was able to find it at my local grocery store. Once I found the seasoning, I felt confident to achieve this delicious Mexican street corn salad.
