This is a loose recipe that's more about proportions than quantities. The flavors are based on the Mexican street food elote, or roasted corn dipped in a rich and tangy sauce. This is that sauce. It can be used as a raw vegetable dip, salad dressing for greens or cold pasta, or sauce for flavorful meat or fish, such as salmon.
