About Mexican street corn

Mexican Street Corn, or Elote, is a popular street food from Mexico, celebrated for its bold flavors and satisfying texture. It's traditionally made by grilling corn on the cob until lightly charred, then slathering it with a creamy mixture of mayonnaise or crema. It's often topped with crumbled cotija cheese, a sprinkle of chili powder, fresh lime juice, and sometimes chopped cilantro. This dish captures the essence of Mexican cuisine with its perfect balance of smoky, tangy, and spicy flavors. Nutritionally, corn is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. However, toppings like mayonnaise and cheese add saturated fat and calories, so portion control is key for a balanced diet. Opting for light versions of the toppings or enjoying it as an occasional treat can make it a healthier choice while still savoring its distinct and irresistible taste.
