“Mexican street corn! Get your Mexican street corn here!” Well, that's probably not how the street vendors in Guadalajara sell their wares. (They say it in Spanish: elotes.) But no matter how you say it, this corn, here served on the flatbread, is packed with yummy flavors: slightly salty Oaxacan cheese, zesty lime, and smoky chipotle powder. No wonder this powerful flavor combination has leaped over the border and into our hearts.
