Halloween Skeleton Elote

FALL RECIPES

This delicious Halloween-themed corn on the cob appetizer takes its flavors from Mexican elote, with corn making up the ribs of a skeleton. Topped with cilantro, lime and chili flakes, this is one spicy, creamy and spooky appetizer!

INGREDIENTS Corn Mayonnaise Sour cream Elote seasoning  Crumbled cotija cheese  Fresh cilantro Lime 

STEP 1

Place the uncut corn cobs on a baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the corn cobs over. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 7-8 minutes until the corn cobs curl slightly.

STEP 2

Cut the corn cobs into fourths lengthwise, cut off the ends of each cob so that it can stand on end. 

STEP 3

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, elote seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined. 

STEP 4

Arrange the corn ribs on a platter to resemble a rib cage.

STEP 5

Drizzle the smoky mayo over the corn ribs, making sure to cover them evenly. Sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese over the corn ribs and garnish them with chopped cilantro, sliced jalapenos, and extra lime wedges.

STEP 6

Top with a skull.
