Elote-style corn, a beloved street food from Mexican cuisine, features juicy corn on the cob coated in a rich blend of traditionally mayonnaise and/or Mexican crema, crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese, chili powder, and a splash of lime juice. It's typically charred or grilled for a smoky flavor that enhances its vibrant taste. Though delicious and satisfying, elote is calorie-dense due to its creamy toppings and cheese, which also contribute higher levels of fat and sodium. However, corn itself is an excellent source of fiber, vitamins like B6, and antioxidants such as lutein, which support digestion and eye health. For a lighter option, versions using yogurt in place of cream or reduced amounts of cheese can be a balanced alternative. Perfect for snacking or as a side dish, elote combines indulgent flavors with wholesome ingredients in a way that celebrates the vibrant character of Mexican street food cuisine.
