• 16 oz Mexican Crema (Mexican Sour Cream)
• Tapatio Hot Sauce - Or your favorite hot sauce

Directions

• Make the Avocado Poblano Mexican Sour Cream Sauce first. You can use the Mexican Crema by itself, however this sauce will make it even better! Click link for recipe.
• I have a super fast way to cook corn that will blow your mind. Check the video out or the full details. I cooked 4 ears of corn at a time in the microwave for 10 minutes. I let it sit for a couple minutes to cool just a little. Then I cut off the bottom part of the corn and basically squeezed it out of the husk. Careful - its super hot. You have to do the squeezing part within a couple minutes. Dont let it cool off. Cook the other 4 ears and repeat. This will blow your mind!
• The corn will be almost cooked - you will finish the rest on the grill or a grilling pan on the stove. Lightly oil the pan if you are inside. If you are going out then oil up the corn on the cob. You can use butter or olive oil. Add some salt and pepper and cook until you get some nice color on the corn.
• Slice the corn from the cob. I placed mine in a big bowl so my friends could just scoop out what they wanted.
• Crumble your Mexican Queso Fresco fresh cheese. It crumbles very easily.
• Put your butter into a measuring cup and melt. I left my butter in the measuring cup so we could just pour it over the corn.
• All you have to do is start layering the ingredients as you wish. There is no wrong or right way. Just make it how you like. I am a control freak so I did pretty layers and was consistent with my ingredients. My friend G pointed out that it didnt matter because you mix it all up and the end to eat it! Shes right, I just liked how pretty it looked.
• Remember to add some salt and chile powder in between your corn layers for flavor.
• You can serve in a bowl or a cup.
• I served a few things on my elotes bar that arent pictured. I chopped up an avocado and had grilled shrimp and chicken to toss into the mix.
