1. Prep the Bread
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the bread lengthwise (like a giant sub sandwich) and hollow out a little of the inside to make room for the filling.
2. Make the Creamy Elote Mixture
In a bowl, mix:
Mayonnaise + sour cream (base for creaminess)
Shredded cheese + cotija (for melty, salty goodness)
Chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder (for that smoky kick)
Lime juice + cilantro (fresh, zesty brightness)
Corn kernels (for authentic elote texture)
3. Stuff & Bake
Spread the mixture generously inside the bread.
Wrap in foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Uncover, broil for 2-3 minutes until golden and bubbly.
4. Garnish & Serve! 🌟
Drizzle with extra lime juice, sprinkle more cotija, chili powder, and cilantro.
Slice and watch it disappear!
