Elote En Vaso (Corn In A Cup)

1. 1

   Husk the corn, remove the silks, and slice the kernels from the cobs with a sharp knife.

2. 2

   Place the corn in a saucepan with enough salted water to cover. Bring to a boil; let boil for two to three minutes, then drain. Turn off the heat, and return corn to saucepan.

3. 3

   Add 3/4 cup of corn in a glass, add butter, and stir to melt the butter. Mix in lime juice and crema.

4. 4

   Sprinkle with a good heavy coating of chili powder and salt if desired, though the cheese adds plenty of salt. Mix well.

5. 5

   Top with crumbled cheese.

6. 6

   If you like spicy then add a few drops of some hot sauce for that extra kick of heat.

7. 7

   Serve with a spoon and lime wedges.

8. 8

   Note: This is a very loose recipe. Feel free to adjust the proportions of lime juice, crema, cheese, and spices to taste!
