About Vaso de elote

Vaso de Elote, or "corn cup," is a popular Mexican street food known for its savory and creamy flavors. It typically consists of steamed or boiled corn kernels served in a cup, layered with toppings like mayonnaise, crema, butter, grated cheese, chili powder, lime juice, and occasionally a dash of hot sauce. This comforting dish originates from the classic elotes, corn on the cob commonly sold by street vendors throughout Mexico. Corn provides a hearty base rich in fiber and vitamins like B6 and folate, contributing to healthy digestion and energy production. However, the added fats and sodium from mayonnaise, crema, cheese, and seasonings may make it a less optimal choice for regular consumption, especially for those monitoring calorie intake or sodium levels. Enjoyed in moderation, Vaso de Elote provides a flavorful glimpse into Mexican culinary tradition.
