Street Corn, or Elote, is a vibrant and flavorful Mexican street food dish that has gained global popularity. Typically made with freshly grilled corn on the cob, it is slathered in a creamy mix of mayonnaise or sour cream, sprinkled with crumbly cotija cheese, and seasoned with lime juice, chili powder, and cilantro for a tangy and smoky kick. Its roots lie in traditional Mexican cuisine, where fresh corn is a staple ingredient. On the nutritional side, corn is a great source of dietary fiber, essential vitamins like B6 and C, and antioxidants, making it a hearty and wholesome base. However, the dish is often high in calories and fat due to the toppings, such as mayonnaise and cheese. It can be modified for a lighter option by using lower-fat ingredients. Street Corn delivers a balance of indulgence and nutrition while showcasing Mexico’s rich culinary heritage.
