Elote En Vaso, or “corn in a cup,” is a popular Mexican street food that offers a delicious blend of flavors and textures. This dish starts with steamed or grilled corn kernels, served in a cup and topped with a mix of classic ingredients: mayonnaise or sour cream, crumbled cotija cheese, lime juice, chili powder, and sometimes butter. The rich, tangy, and mildly spicy combination makes it a satisfying snack or side dish. While corn provides fiber, essential vitamins like B vitamins, and antioxidants that support digestion and overall health, Elote En Vaso is often high in fat and sodium due to the generous additions of cheese, mayonnaise, and butter. Moderation is key for enjoying this flavorful treat as part of your diet. Customizing toppings, such as using low-fat yogurt or skipping butter, can make it a healthier option.
