Mexican Corn on the Cob, known as "Elote," is a popular street food originating from Mexican cuisine. It features grilled or boiled corn on the cob coated in a mix of creamy mayonnaise or sour cream, crumbled cotija cheese, chili powder, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Often skewered for easy handling, this savory snack combines bold flavors and textures that highlight the versatility of corn. While corn itself is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants like lutein, the toppings add calories and fat due to the creamy base and cheese. However, lime juice provides a boost of vitamin C, and chili powder can offer anti-inflammatory benefits. Elote is a satisfying treat best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet to savor both its nutritional qualities and indulgent flavors.
