Velvet Taco Elote Copy Cat Recipe-Charred Corn Salad

 Velvet Taco Elote Copy Cat Recipe

Another thing that I like to do is to try to figure out the recipe of my favorite restaurant dishes.  If I like something, I start paying attention to each bite and figure out what are main seasonings in the dish, normally the main ingredients are listed in the menu, but most of the times the signature flavors are not listed, and that is what makes the dish special, this velvet taco elote copy cat recipe is so yummy and easy to do. 

Velvet taco elote or charred corn salad is not so difficult to figure out what are the ingredients of the recipe, the cooking method of the corn is what gives this side dish the special flavor.  Another thing that I love about this recipe is that reminds me so much my childhood,  besides the jicama con chile and cheese, a roasted corn was my favorite Sunday snack after church.
