About Elotes
Elotes, a popular street food from Mexican cuisine, are grilled corn on the cob coated with a flavorful combination of toppings. Traditionally, elotes are prepared by slathering the corn with creamy mayonnaise or sour cream, sprinkling it with crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese, and seasoning it with chili powder, lime juice, and sometimes butter. This dish offers fiber and essential nutrients from the corn, such as vitamins B and C, as well as antioxidants beneficial for health. However, elotes can be calorie-dense due to the creamy toppings and cheese, which are high in fat, and additional salt may increase sodium intake. Despite this, elotes are a delicious and versatile dish enjoyed in moderation. Variations can lighten calorie content, such as substituting low-fat or plant-based ingredients while retaining the bold flavors that make this Mexican classic a favorite worldwide.
