Every once in a while, I create a recipe that makes me want to give myself a hug. Well guys, this elote is one of them.

It all started last weekend when my friend and fellow food blogger, Brett (www.hertastylife.com), said we should have a taco night. Since I’m always down for a good Mexican fiesta and I’ve heard rumors that this girl can make some serious carne asada, it was a no brainer to say yes.

The only fear I had was that my side dish wouldn’t live up to her famous tacos (if you think I’m kidding, these tacos even have their own yelp review). I decided to try to make one of my FAVORITE mexi-sides, elote. If you don’t know what elote is, it’s basically like a tangy, cheesy corn casserole.

This dish was SO good, our husbands actually left mid-dinner to go out and buy more corn so that we would make some more elote. I feel like that’s the biggest compliment you can receive!
