My most popular Labor Day recipe (every single year!)


🌽 Your Labor Day Weekend Needs Street Corn

If there’s such a thing as a past life, I’m pretty sure I was a Mexican at some point in time.

I mean, how else do you explain my deep, undying love for all things elote?

Yes, I may be Mediterranean at heart, but give me fresh corn, chili-lime seasoning, and a sprinkle of Cotija, and I’m suddenly planning a fiesta in my backyard. 🎉

Over the years, I’ve created just about every version of Mexican street corn you can think of—on the cob, off the cob, in a salad, in a dip, even in the air fryer. #IYKYK

And every Labor Day weekend, these are the recipes that gets the most amount of clicks & shares.

Because if you’re not covered in corn and cheese by the end of the weekend… are you even celebrating?

Mexican Street Corn

Let’s start with the classic. This is the beloved version with mayo, cotija, chili powder, and lime—served right on the cob or off if that’s more your style. You can boil or grill the corn. It’s messy in the best way and always a hit.

Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad

Same irresistible flavors, but in pasta salad form. We use the classic mayo-lime-chili dressing and mix it with corn off the cob, pasta, and a few simple add-ins. Whether you grill, boil, or even air fry the corn, this one’s a crowd-pleaser.

Elote Dip

If you need a great appetizer, add this to your Labor Day menu. It’s the same creamy, tangy, chili-lime goodness—just turned into a scoopable party dip. Grab the chips, pour the margaritas, and let everyone dig in.

Air Fryer Mexican Street Corn

Short on time? No worries, this air Fryer Elotes are the way to go! Just cook the corn in the air fryer and slather on the classic toppings. It’s a quick and easy shortcut that still delivers on all the flavor.

Mexican Street Corn Salad (Esquites)

Think of this as the salad version of Mexican Street Corn: same flavors, just served in a bowl. It’s quick, easy, and a great option if you want all the flavor without the mess of eating it on the cob.

Whether you are celebrating Labor Day or just enjoying these last days of summer, I hope these corn recipes help you savor the best of the season.
