I absolutely adore the grilled Mexican street corn at Bartaco. I have tried making different Mexican street corn recipes at home, and none compare to the Bartaco recipe! Do you think they’d be willing to share the recipe? — Elizabeth McNeill, Smyrna
Jared Bennett, director of culinary standards for Bartaco, provided the recipe and gave us a little background about the creation of their version. “We tried to pay as much homage as possible to the classic Mexican elote. Here at Bartaco, we are all about bold flavors and are inspired by cultures and flavors all over the world. I think our street corn is so popular because it has a perfect balance of flavors and textures. It’s crisp and creamy, salty, smoky, sweet and with a little bit of spice, all at the same time.”
