Elotes (Mexican-style street corn)

Corn on the cob is the sweet taste of summer – and these Mexican-style snacks take things to a different level with a zingy cheesy topping.
Grilled corn on the cob slathered in mayo and cheese is sold from food carts across Mexico, but it’s just as good in your back garden… The mayonnaise is spiked with lime, garlic, coriander and spring onions, and we’ve replaced hard-to-find Mexican cheese, cotija, with a punchy mixture of feta and parmesan. We’ve used the sweetcorn husks to make pretty plaits – which are also handy for holding the cobs.
Corn and Tajín seasoning also team up in this deliciously creamy summer pasta recipe.
