AE - Ote (Elote)

This elote gives the classic street‑corn flavor a tangy upgrade with AE Dairy Plain Lowfat Yogurt in place of mayo. Grilling the corn in its husk keeps it smoky and tender before getting brushed with a creamy Tajin‑spiked yogurt mix. A roll in cotija and a sprinkle of cilantro add the perfect salty‑fresh finish. Serve with lime for a bright pop of acidity.
