Easy Vegan Baby Corn Elote (Mexican Street Corn)

This 6-ingredient recipe is for those of you wanting a quick mid-day snack. Only takes 5 minutes to put together. Adorable baby corn made into a mini plant-based version of elotes with lime juice, vegan mayo, vegan feta, and chili powder. Elotes are a popular corn-on-a-stick snack sold by street vendors in Mexico.

This is the perfect snack or side dish and has made it into the rotation at my house. The secret to making these mini Mexican street corn extra delicious is to add the lime juice first, which makes it easier to add the mayo, cheese, and chili powder next. I enjoy eating these cute baby corn with chopsticks as an afternoon snack. If you want to go the extra mile for a more aesthetically pleasing look, char the corn using a cast iron skillet. Heat up a cast iron skillet and after the corn is microwaved, then rotate the corn around the pan until char marks form on the corn.

I hope you all love this easy baby corn elote! It’s:
