Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make elote-style corn for pizza?
Char corn kernels in a hot cast-iron skillet with butter until blackened in spots. Toss with chili powder, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. The charred, spiced kernels bring the authentic street corn flavor to the pizza.
What is Cotija cheese?
Cotija is a hard, salty Mexican cheese often called the Parmesan of Mexico. It does not melt, making it perfect for crumbling over the finished pizza where it adds bursts of salty, tangy flavor.
