About Elote
Elote, a popular street food from Mexican cuisine, is a flavorful dish traditionally made from grilled or boiled corn on the cob. It is typically coated with a creamy topping that includes mayonnaise or crema, sprinkled with cotija cheese, chili powder, and lime juice, and sometimes garnished with fresh cilantro. Packed with fiber and essential vitamins like B6, thiamin, and folate from the corn, elote also provides calcium and protein from the cotija cheese. However, its toppings can add significant levels of fat, sodium, and calories, particularly when mayonnaise or crema is used generously. While delicious and indulgent, elote is best enjoyed in moderation, or with adjustments such as lighter toppings to make it a healthier option while retaining its signature flavor. Popular for its vibrant taste and cultural significance, elote continues to be a cherished and versatile treat in Mexican culinary tradition.
