Elote Creamed Corn
Calling all Trader Joe's fans! This simple elote creamed corn recipe makes a yummy side dish using TJ's Everything But The Elote seasoning, cream cheese, and canned corn.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 (12 ounce) cans corn drained
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese (I used 1/2 a block of Philly) softened
- 1 tablespoon TJ's Everything But The Elote Seasoning Blend or to taste
- Lime juice to taste
Instructions
- Take the cream cheese out of the fridge at least 30 minutes prior to starting this recipe (or you can microwave it for 20-30 seconds to soften it up).
- Melt the butter in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat.
- Add in the cream cheese and corn and stir until they're well combined and warmed through. Stir in the elote seasoning and finish it with a squeeze of lime juice to taste (it balances some of the sweetness). Serve immediately with extra elote seasoning sprinkled over top.
Notes
- Serves 4-6 depending on how much people eat.
- If you have some cotija cheese on hand, feel free to add some in as well!
- You could also use corn on the cob and cut the corn off (even better if you grill it).
- Got a lime zester? A little lime zest makes a great addition to this recipe.
