For those wondering what is Elote, it is mexican grilled corn that's covered in a creamy sauce and sprinkled with cheese😊and what makes it so irresistible is the texture and the flavors🤤🤤🤤🤤⠀

1/2 cup sour cream ⠀
2 tbsp mayonnaise⠀
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese⠀
1 tsp chili powder⠀
1 clove crushed garlic ( i used 1tsp garlic powder)⠀
1/2 tsp salt⠀
Lime wedges, for serving⠀
Cilantro to garnish⠀ ⠀
How to make it👩‍🍳⠀
Grill your sweet corn or you could grill it on a non stick pan ⠀
⠀
In a bowl mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, chilli powder, feta cheese (leave some for garnishing) and salt (Make this according to your taste buds)⠀
⠀
Once your corn is grilled, spread a little butter on them and then spread the cream mixture you made with a brush or spoon, so you dont get burnt🙈⠀

𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀
1 medium red onion peeled, and thinly sliced
½ tsp olive oil
1 tbsp flour
1 cup crumbled blue cheese @rakacheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup fresh spinach stems removed, cleaned, and roughly torn into pieces
½ cup toasted walnuts
freshly ground black pepper

𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once oil is hot, add sliced onion, and sauté until soft. You aren’t browning the onion as much as softening it. If it starts to brown too quickly, add some water to slow it down.
Once onion is soft, mix in the flour, until well blended, and cook for an additional minute.
Add crumbled blue cheese and break up any lumps with a spoon. Slowly whisk in the cream until the sauce is smooth and free of lumps. Simmer for a couple of minutes, or until sauce is slightly thickened.
Add torn spinach and continue simmering until spinach is just wilted, about 1-3 minutes.
Stir in toasted walnuts, and season with freshly ground black pepper.
If the sauce is too thick, add in a little water. If it’s too thin, simmer for a few more minutes.
