This Elote Dip makes Mexican Street Corn shareable as heck just in time for football season. Every bite tastes like Andrés Cantor yelling “GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!” with that creamy, spicy, citrusy, slightly smoky goodness wrapping you up till you snap out of it and realize there are 6 TVs mounted on the wall in the living room you’re in and everybody is yelling at a different TV about a different stat that’s going to make them money.
