Elote In A Cup

"Think of that Street Corn you can order at the local taco joint or food truck, shave all of it off the cob, then put in a cup and serve up with some crunchy tortilla chips. It’s the perfect option for a potluck, cocktail party, graduation party, backyard barbecue, etc. when people are walking around and need something easy to hold and enjoy at the same time (I’m picturing trying to eat corn on the cob at a cocktail party and it’s just not it…). With fresh sweet corn, creamy and salty cotija cheese and some fresh flavor from produce like onion, cilantro, and jalapeño for the perfect bite, this simple recipe is a tasty one. "
