About Corn in a cup
Corn in a Cup is a popular snack rooted in Mexican street food culture, often referred to as "Elote en Vaso." This dish features sweet corn kernels, typically steamed or boiled, served in a cup and topped with a variety of flavorful additions. Common ingredients include butter, mayonnaise or crema, cheese (such as cotija), lime juice, chili powder, and sometimes hot sauce. While it offers the natural sweetness and fiber of corn, the added toppings can significantly increase calories, fat, and sodium content. However, variations can be made using lighter substitutions, such as yogurt instead of mayonnaise, or limiting toppings for a healthier version. This snack is a delightful blend of textures and tangy-spicy flavors, serving as a satisfying treat or side dish with a heritage that celebrates the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine.
