FAQs

Traditional Mexican street corn, or elote, is made with grilled corn on the cob coated in a mix of mayonnaise, lime juice, chilli, and cheese, then topped with coriander and often served on a stick. This Mexican street corn recipe puts that bold flavour on toast instead, combining creamy corn with lime, paprika, and fresh herbs for an easy, mess-free way to enjoy the same delicious result.

Cotija is a crumbly Mexican cheese known for its salty flavour and dry texture. In Australia, it can sometimes be found at specialty supermarkets, but a great substitute is crumbled feta or parmesan, as both deliver that same salty, tangy kick. In this Mexican street corn toast, feta adds richness and balances the spice, giving you a similar flavour without needing to hunt down specialty ingredients.

The classic Mexican street corn sauce is a creamy mix of mayonnaise, lime juice, chilli powder and sometimes sour cream or Greek yoghurt. It’s tangy, smoky and slightly spicy – the perfect match for sweet corn. In this recipe, we use a combo of mayo and Greek yoghurt to keep things creamy and light, with a dash of paprika and lime for that signature flavour.
