This Mexican street corn recipe (aka elote ) is grilled until charred, then slathered in a creamy chili-lime sauce. Tie back the husks for a built-in handle! What’s the perfect summer side dish? This Mexican street corn recipe, in my opinion. One bite of elote and you’ll be a believer: it’s sweet, smoky, savory, creamy, and tangy: all at once. It’s grilled to charred perfection and slathered in a creamy spiced sauce with cheese crumbles. Here’s my favorite way to make at home (though of course, it’s best on the street in Mexico!). I’ll show you how to grill corn perfectly and keep the husk as a built-in handle. Serve it with tacos like these favorite grilled shrimp tacos , grilled fish, or a good old burger . 5 Star Reader Review “I made this recipe 2 weeks ago and everyone loved it.

This strawberry sangria made the Spanish way, with strawberries, dry rosé, and orange liqueur. Here’s how to build the pitcher and how long to chill it. If you love berries and you love sangria, then you must drop everything and make this now . Here’s my perfect strawberry sangria! Many American-style sangria recipes are just glorified fruit juice, but this one is Spanish style, full of nuance and character. Here the berries sing and the dry rosé notes peek through just enough.

Why You’ll Love This Strawberry Sangria It’s delicious. Sangría  is a classic Spanish wine punch. Usually American versions of the stuff are so sweet and fruity, I’d barely call them sangria! But this strawberry sangria tastes like actual strawberries, and it has a deliciously balanced flavo...

Stuffed zucchini boats are packed with a flavor-packed filling and melty cheese. Here’s how to bake them golden and tender (never soggy!). I’ll be honest: I’m not huge fan of zucchini outside of baked goods, but this stuffed zucchini boats recipe made me a convert! You just hollow out zucchini into shells, then stuff it with sausage, tomatoes, garlic, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, crispy breadcrumbs, and bake until golden brown. It never fails that someone I serve it to says wow ! These are packed with savory flavor and make a zucchini lover out of anyone. You can use either plant-based sausage or regular, depending on your diet. 5 Star Reader Reviews “This recipe for zucchini boats is the best I’ve ever had. 5 stars.” -Pamela “Wow! So delicious!
