Elote

One of Mexico’s well-loved foods is Elote, the local name given to the beautifully boiled or grilled ears of corn that you can get on literally every street corner in the country. Elote is typically served on a stick, but people may opt to have the delicacy conveniently served in a cup (which then is called Esquite), minus the cob.

The traditional snack is made by slathering the ears of corn (or its kernels) with butter, and then sprinkled with generous amounts of salt, chili powder and cheese. A splash of lime provides a refreshingly sour contrast to the salty and savory components, which are finished-off with a healthy drizzling of thick mayonnaise and oozy sour cream.

Elote is the perfect light meal to keep you energized while you decide on what to sink your teeth into, next.
