Sense8: Lito’s Elotes recipe
This has got to be one of my favorite dishes. Not only is it delicious but it’s so easy to whip together. It’s messy and your face will most likely be covered with cheese afterwards but it’s so damn worth it. The two hour finale of Sense8 airs tomorrow on Netflix and if you haven’t planned anything yet, I can’t imagine anything easier and faster than this recipe.
If you don’t have a grill on hand, I like to steam the corn until cooked through and then I would proceed with the toppings. It’s still as delicious! Please enjoy.
LITO: You know, before, I went to order elotes. You know I love elotes.
HERNANDO: Yes, you love elotes, yes.
LITO: But when I tried to order them, I couldn’t remember that elotes are called elotes.
