Mexican Style Grilled Corn on the Cob

The Best Corn on the Cob

This Mexican Style Corn on the Cob recipe, otherwise known as Elotas, is the absolute best way to grill your corn. It’s the street style Corn on the Cob you get from the push carts in L.A. so I’m tellin’ ya, you’ve got a winner here with this recipe. It’s absolutely, hands down, the best Corn on the Cob I have ever had!

Grilled Corn on the Cob

I find that the best Corn on the Cob always tastes better when it’s been grilled. In the video tutorial, I just use an electric grill for filming but it’s not even close to the same thing. So if you’ve got an outside grill with propane or some charcoal, that’s definitely the way to go. The smoke and the flame will take the Elotas to a whole new level. Also, be sure to use regular Mayonnaise, not light. You’ll cheat the flavor. The Cheese I used here is a Mexican Cheese called Catija but you can use Queso Fresca or even just Parmesan if that’s all you’ve got. It really won’t make that big of a difference. Just don’t replace any other ingredients unless you want to stick to plain chili powder instead of the taco seasoning.

The Best Wontons Recipe

If you like Chinese Wontons, you’re going to love this Red Sauce Wontons recipe. It’s generally sweet and spicy but you can control exactly how much you want of each, easily. It’s true that this recipe was once on P.F. Chang’s menu. I’m not quite sure if it is anymore but I’ve broken down a restaurant size recipe and created this family size equivalent with medium heat. So feel free to adjust the Chili Oil, Chili Paste and sugar to your desired preference.

Recipes made with Wontons

You can turn this dish into a spicy wonton soup, if you prefer, and I tell you how to do that below the ingredients. If you’re looking for more of a traditional Wonton Soup recipe, however, CLICK HERE. You might also be interested in my Pot Stickers and my Shrimp dumplings recipe. They’re both amazing and I show you how to make a dipping sauce with the dumplings recipe.

Pot Stickers are also called Gyoza, which is seasoned and flavor ground pork, wrapped in a round wonton wrapper and shaped like a crescent moon, steamed, then pan fried. Shrimp Dumplings are very similar, only those wonton wrappers are square and are stuffed with seasoned and ground shrimp, instead, then steamed and pan fried. Oh, and did I mention the Dipping Sauce? Mmm, mm, mm!

Mushrooms and Onions over Texas Toast

In this Mushrooms and Onions recipe, I combine the ideas behind a Mushroom and Swiss Sandwich with French Onion Soup and Stuffed Mushrooms.
