Elote En Vaso Preparado, or “Corn in a Cup,” is a popular Mexican street food that combines comforting and bold flavors in a portable treat. Traditionally, it features cooked corn kernels topped with ingredients like mayonnaise or sour cream, butter, crumbled cheese (often cotija), lime juice, chili powder, and sometimes hot sauce for extra spice. This savory dish draws from the rich culinary traditions of Mexico, showcasing a love for layered textures and vibrant seasonings. While corn is naturally high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, the added toppings can increase the calorie count and fat content, particularly due to creamy ingredients and cheese. For a lighter version, swapping mayonnaise for Greek yogurt or reducing the amount of cheese can make it a slightly healthier option. Despite indulgent notes, Elote En Vaso is a satisfying way to enjoy corn as a versatile and flavorful base for a snack or appetizer.
