Mexican Street Corn Lollipops
These Mexican Street Corn Lollipops are a fun twist on the classic Mexican street corn, giving you all the flavors you love but on a stick. The corn gets a nice crisp on the outside from frying, while staying tender inside. When you bite in, you get a balance of sweet, savory, and just the right amount of heat.
The Spanglish Asadero Elote seasoning gives the corn a little kick, with a tangy note that brightens it up. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro adds a touch of freshness, and the crumbled cotija cheese ties everything together with its salty, creamy bite. This Elote seasoning is currently in Costcos in CA but no worries! Spanglish Asadero has Taco, Birria, Barbacoa, and more at all Walmart’s nationwide. You can buy in-store or online. If you have another favorite, then you use that.
The lollipop effect makes it easy to eat, and the combination of flavors keeps it interesting—sweet, salty, spicy, and fresh in every bite. These are perfect for whenever you want to try something a little different. It’s a simple way to elevate a classic and make it fun for everyone.
