Mexican Street Corn, or Elote, is a popular snack or side dish originating from Mexican cuisine. This vibrant treat is traditionally made by grilling whole ears of sweet corn until slightly charred, then coating them with creamy mayonnaise or sour cream, crumbled cotija cheese, and a sprinkle of chili powder or paprika for a flavorful kick. Lime juice and fresh cilantro often add a zesty, aromatic finish. While corn itself is a good source of fiber, carbohydrates, and essential vitamins like B6 and folate, the added toppings contribute saturated fat and sodium, making moderation key. Elote is celebrated for its bold combination of textures and tastes that showcase Mexico’s culinary traditions, but adjusting the ingredients—like using a low-fat spread or less cheese—can make it a healthier indulgence. This favorite street food is perfect for barbecues or casual gatherings, combining fun flavors with rich cultural heritage.
