Elote is absolutely delicious on its own but when you add it to a taco with guac and chipotle shrimp, it's on another level! It's spicy, citrusy, creamy, and then that crunch from the baked tortilla is the perfect combination of flavor and textures that you won't be able to get enough of. If tacos as a main meal wasn't enough, now try it as an appetizer!
