This week’s Market Fresh Cooking recipe is definitely a favorite. Nothing says summer in Santa Fe like Elote (aka Mexican Street Corn). Preparing Elote just couldn’t be easier. It will take just five minutes of your time and the payoff is limitless. Pick up some corn at the Market and delight everyone at your next barbecue. It’s often served on a stick, though you could skip the skewer and make it right on the grill.
