Cheetos Has A New Mexican Street Corn Flavor That Has All Of The Flavors Of The Real Thing
Are you looking for something new to spice up summer parties and cookouts? If so, I think I may have just found it, Cheetos Mexican Street Corn!
I have an confession… I have never had Elotes. Like this was something I had never heard of before moving to Texas and I still haven’t tried it. But here it’s pretty much everywhere, even in front of gas stations.
I guess that some people even use the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos to make Flamin’ Hot Elotes. They crush them up and coat corn on the cob with it to spice things up!
Well, Cheetos swapped it and brought the elotes to the Cheetos! From what I learned looking at recipes, elotes is made with corn on the cob and then it is coated in a mixtures of mayo, sour cream, spices, and lime juice.
So, I can only guess that the new Mexican Street Corn Cheetos will have those same flavors infused in one of our favorite crunchy snacks!
Instagram user snackbetch posted a good closeup of the new snack and you can see on the bag that Chester is holding a lime with what looks to be Tajin chili powder on it.
According to one of our favorite food Instagram accounts, markie_devo, There are a whole bunch of new chips and snacks coming out!
As of right now, it looks like the new Mexican Street Corn Cheetos are going to be available in stores in May 2021! I can’t wait to try them!
My daughter briefly got her hands on a bag of Mexican Street Corn Cheetos and made the mistake of bringing them to my house. She left empty handed and I owe her 4 bucks. They are the best Cheetos ever.
@FuriousGeorge, what store did she get them? i’ve been currently running around all town for 4 days now looking for them
@samantha, I picked up a bag at 711 today!!
I work for a small grocery store chain, and our buyer let us sample some of the new flavors. Let me tell you, the Mexican Street Corn Cheetos are the bomb!! I usually don’t care for all the new flavors every snack company has to try, but this is an item I would buy very often!
I also have never had elotes and knew nothing of it until reading this. (Heck, I stumbled on this article just trying to find when these Cheetos were going to hit the market or where I could get another bag NOW.) But, if elotes are anything like these Cheetos, I need to be making that on a weekly basis. Yummy!
FYI, the Funyun flavored Lay’s are just ok. I didn’t get to try the Jerk Chicken, but I think that sounds pretty yummy as well! Thanks for letting me know I have a few more weeks to wait to get my hands on these again. 🙁
