Vegan Elote Recipe (Air Fryer Street Corn)
This tempting vegan elote recipe is a fun play on the classic Mexican street food with juicy air-fried corn-on-the-cob slathered in a hefty drizzle of aioli made with creamy vegan mayo, lime juice, and chili powder for some heat. Top that with salty vegan feta, green onions, and cilantro for a creamy, herby kick that balances the sweetness of the corn.
