If you’ve never had the pleasure of trying Elote (Mexican Street Corn), let me strongly suggest you try this Showtime Rotisserie recipe! 

Using your Showtime Rotisserie basket is a fabulous way to cook corn. It roasts fresh, whole ears of corn without making them soggy… leaving the fresh, crisp flavors of summer corn.MexicanStreetCorn
