About Elote corn
Elote, or Mexican street corn, is a popular dish originating from Mexican cuisine. It consists of grilled corn on the cob slathered with a creamy mixture of mayonnaise or sour cream, cotija cheese, chili powder, lime juice, and often a sprinkle of cilantro. This flavorful treat is typically served hot and can be enjoyed on a stick or as kernels in a bowl. Corn itself is a good source of dietary fiber, B vitamins, and antioxidants like lutein, which supports eye health. However, the toppings add significant calories, fat, and sodium, especially due to the cheese and mayonnaise. For a healthier version, you can reduce the amount of creamy dressing or opt for yogurt as a substitute. Elote strikes a balance between indulgence and nutrition, offering a vibrant taste of Mexican culinary tradition while leaving room for moderation.
