Description
Consider this cornbread our love letter to elotes, the classic Mexican street food of charred corn slathered in a tangy, creamy, cheesy sauce and flavored with cilantro and chile. In this departure from tradition, we put the creamy sauce (in this case, it's mayonnaise) in the batter for richness and tenderness; it's also mixed with sour cream and lime and used to top the corn-and herb-flecked bread. This cornbread is delicious enough to eat on its own (we devoured it in the Test Kitchen on multiple occasions) but versatile enough to accompany any cookout, picnic, or summer get-together.
