Chef Susana Villasuso shares her simple elotes dip recipe with us. 'Elotes is one of Mexico’s favourite street food snacks', explains Susana. 'It’s a combination of toasted corn kernels mixed with chilli, crème fraîche (or Mexican crema), cheese and a squeeze of lime.' This makes a delicious dip for parties, summer gatherings or healthy snacking. See method

Method
- Heat the rapeseed oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the spring onions and cook, stirring, for 1-2 mins until slightly softened. Add the jalapeño, smoked paprika and sweetcorn; cook, stirring, for 5-6 mins until the sweetcorn is lightly toasted. Season to taste and add the butter, stirring until melted. Set aside roughly a quarter of this mixture to use later.
- Add the remaining sweetcorn mix to a blender with the lime juice, salad cheese, crème fraîche and tamari; blend to a creamy dip.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, then top with the reserved sweetcorn, the crushed chillies and the olive oil.
