Elote Mac & Cheese

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, salt & add the pasta. Boil for about 7 minutes, drain and set aside.

To a large pan on medium heat, add the butter, once melted add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, add the flour, whisk thoroughly until fully combined, about 1-2 minutes.

Add in the corn and mix until fully combined.

Slowly whisk in the heavy cream until fully incorporated.

In batches, stir in the Colby Jack & Muenster cheeses, reserve about 1/2 cup of each for topping the mac & cheese.

Once the cheese is fully melted, add in the spices, mix to combine.

Lastly, stir in most of the cotija cheese, leaving some for topping after baking.

Pour the mac into a baking dish, top with the remaining colby jack & Muenster cheeses.

Bake the Mac & Cheese for 20-25 minutes or until nicely golden brown on top.

Top the baked Mac & Cheese with more cotija, cilantro & Tajin.
