Elote corn, also known as Mexican street corn, is a popular Mexican snack made from grilled corn on the cob that is smothered in a creamy mayo sauce and topped with chili powder, cheese, and lime. It is a staple in Latin American culture and is commonly sold from street carts in Mexico. Elote can be made by grilling or roasting corn on the cob and then spreading a mixture of mayonnaise and Mexican crema over it. It is then sprinkled with cotija cheese and chili powder and served with cilantro and a lime wedge on the side. Elote can also be served in a cup or glass, known as "elote en vaso" or "esquites," which is boiled corn in a cup with similar ingredients.
