This recipe is for Vegan Elotes (pronounced as e-loh-tays) — also known as Mexican street corn!
Elotes are known for slathering corn on a cob with mayonnaise that’s flavoured with lime juice, cheese, and cilantro.
I wanted to make a vegan elotes version so after comparing recipes on the internet and testing out my own version, I made vegan elotes that are low effort AND delicious!
Recipe for Vegan Elotes
This is a super easy recipe you can make either for a summer barbecue or as a side dish to any meal. With just a few simple ingredients, it’s never been easier to elevate corn into one of the most delicious recipes.
All you need to do is cook up the corn and while the corn is cooking, simply mix together the delicious sauce that you can spread on top. Then sprinkle on some vegan parmesan (I recommend using my cashew parmesan or hemp parmesan recipe) and then squeeze on some lime juice.
Enjoy right away! Make sure you have lots of napkins with you because it can get very messy.

This Elotes recipe is vegan, gluten-free, and can be made nut-free.
How To Make Elotes (Vegan)
Grill corn until cooked through, turning the corn every few minutes. You can also bake or air fry the corn if you don’t have a grill or cook it on a pan on the stove.
Meanwhile, make the cashew parmesan if you haven’t yet (find the recipe HERE). Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together vegan mayo, coconut yogurt, cilantro (set a few pieces aside for garnishing later), salt, and garlic powder.
Spread the creamy mixture generously onto each corn.
Sprinkle on a generous amount of cashew parmesan and top with chili powder.
Top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges (you can also mix lime juice with the mayo mixture).
Enjoy! Make sure you have plenty of napkins as it can get messy.
