We’ve taken classic Mexican street corn and cut it off the cob. Because scooping corn chips through creamy fresh grilled corn that’s bursting with chili and lime flavors …is FUN!!

Each week our local Farmers Market blossoms with new fresh produce and gorgeous flowers. The first week was beets, carrots, cucumbers, broccolini, and peaches.

By the second week we added potatoes, green beans, and sweet corn on the cob.

We bought and grilled more corn than we could eat, it came down to Corn Chowder or a nice crisp flavorful corn dip. With the temps in the 90s, this dip recipe was born and you’ll love it.

I took all the same flavor profiles that you would slather on corn on the cob to make Elote. Elote, also known as Mexican street corn, means corncob or ‘ear of corn’ in Spanish and is traditionally served slathered with a mixture of mayonnaise, crema, cilantro, chili powder, garlic, lime juice and crumbled Cotija cheese.

For our this recipe I also added fine diced jalapeño and green onion. I served this dip at room temperature but it’s delicious oven warmed as well.

I’m certain my family is silently cheering right now. Witnessing me eat an ear of corn is not a pretty sight! Let’s just say I’m enthusiastic in my approach and committed until the end. So this Mexican Street Corn Dip has now become a family favorite. It sings of summer with fresh bright flavors like chili and lime, and delivers a delicious creamy corn crunch!

As with all of our chicken wing we recipes, we bake them vs. frying.

• Place wings in a single layer on a rack set in a baking sheet.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for an hour
• Toss the crispy wings with this simple 3-ingredient sweet and spicy sauce: soy sauce (sub coconut aminos for gluten free), sweet chili sauce, and chili crisp oil (can sub sriracha).

The result is a crispy on the outside, juicy inside and slightly sweet, spicy and sticky super flavorful batch of chicken wings.

That was a mouthful and so are these!

And they’re pretty in a picture thanks to the pop of color from our Farmers Market flowers.
