I love this recipe! I remember having elote as a child growing up in Texas, but couldn't ever remember how to make it. This recipe is perfect. Thank you so much for posting it. The texture of the cheese is awesome. I used lemon juice instead of pepper when i made it for the second time and it was a nice twist. Bueno!

Thanks for posting. I didn't add the lime & used mexican coteja cheese instead of parm- it was great.

this corn is so good! we mix all these ingredients up using hot sauce instead of the ground peppers, then add it to a steamed bag of frozen corn. we make this at least once a week! great with grilled chicken.
