One of Toronto's most lively Mexican hotspots -- La Carnita -- knows how to dole out fun, inventive and flavourful Mexican fare. Try out the original recipe for their famed Mexican street corn; smothered in crema, crumbled queso and sprinkled with chili seasoning.
If you are having trouble finding queso añejo, try making your own or substitute for feta. If you can't find ground ancho chili powder replace with regular chili powder or crushed red pepper. If you can't find ground chile de árbol use ground cayenne powder or even smoked paprika. Lastly, check out this recipe for Mexican crema here.
