About Mexican corn cup

Mexican Corn Cup, also known as "elote en vaso," is a beloved street food originating from Mexico. It features tender kernels of corn served in a cup and topped with a flavorful combination of creamy mayonnaise or crema, crumbly cotija cheese, butter, fresh lime juice, and a sprinkle of chili powder or Tajín for a spicy kick. Some variations may include cilantro or hot sauce for added zest. Packed with fiber from the corn, this dish offers a fulfilling snack or side. However, the rich additions such as mayo, cheese, and butter contribute to its calorie and fat content, making moderation key. A vibrant representation of Mexican cuisine, the Mexican Corn Cup captures the essence of bold flavors and textures, providing a quick, satisfying treat that blends both indulgence and nourishment.
