Corn in a Cup (Elote en Vaso)

Cheater Version of Mexican Corn. You may not find the traditional ingredients for Elote en Vaso (corn in a cup) if you make a quick run to your local grocery store, as the real ingredients take a little more sleuthing. I’ve therefore improvised so you can still make something delicious, just don’t try to pass it off as authentic.
