Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 jalapeño, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk (we recommend evaporated milk – see notes)
- 1 cup shredded V&V Supremo® Chihuahua® Brand Quesadilla Cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2–3 ears of corn, roasted (2 cups)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup V&V Supremo® Queso Fresco
- chili powder
Instructions
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the jalapeños and garlic and sauté for 5-10 minutes, until very soft and fragrant (but don’t burn or brown the garlic).
- Add flour and stir until everything is coated – about one minute. Add the milk slowly and whisk until a smooth bubbly mixture comes together. Remove from heat and stir in the Chihuahua® Brand Quesadilla Cheese until smooth and melty. Low and slow!
- Season with salt and stir in most of the corn. Arrange a little “elotes pile” on top: remaining corn, cilantro, queso fresco, and chili powder. Best served warm with tortilla chips for dipping!
