How to Make Healthy Authentic Elote

by Anjolie Flores | Sep 26, 2022 | Diet, Digestive Health, Food Sensitivities, Healthy Living, Recipes

Elote is a delicious Mexican street food with corn as the star ingredient. Combined with chili powder and lime, this dish becomes a mouth-watering snack that you will want again and again. Normally, elote is served on a stick, but you can also forgo that option. Esquites are almost the exact same as elotes, but the corn is removed from the cob; a little chicken broth is added, and it is topped with the same thing that goes on the elotes: mayo, cheese, and chili powder. This recipe will help you get true Latin flavors without some of the traditional ‘unhealthy’ ingredients. I hope you enjoy my take on the classic dish with this healthy, authentic elote recipe!

Ingredients

  • 4 ears of Corn
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise soy-oil free (vegan optional)
  • 1/2 cup Cotija Cheese
  • 1/2 Lime
  • Hot Sauce like Cholula
  • Chili Powder
  • Wooden sticks optional

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Shuck the corn, remove the silk and stalk. Add corn to water, cover and cook for 5 minutes, then remove.
  • When corn is cool enough to touch but still warm, insert wooden stick into core as a handle.
  • Brush corn with 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese and squeeze of lime wedge. Add hot sauce and chili powder to taste.
  • Repeat with remaining ears of corn and serve.

Notes

Esquites: Corn can also be cut off the cob, into a bowl, and have the toppings added on top. Add some chicken broth and epazote (common herb in Southern Mexican cooking) to the bowl for more authentic esquites.

I have been using the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for the last few weeks and It has helped me so much. I struggle quite a bit with work related stress. When I'm in the chamber I feel completely relaxed, so much so that I can bring my laptop inside and work without stressing. The calmness I feel in the chamber lasts for the remainder of the day as well. I have found too, the more consistent I am with sessions throughout the week the better I feel. The office staff seems well trained in running the tanks too, so I feel safe. I see Dr. Kilcup as well for my brain and gut health. Until now, I don't think I've ever known what "normal" or "healthy" feels like. Thank you all, sincerely!

Darrell is highly knowledgeable and really gets to the root of the problem. Unlike a lot of doctors, Darrell doesn't just throw prescriptions at issues. He will test and test - digging for the cause and then working on fixing the issue. He and his staff are professional, courteous, and a joy to be around.

I am very grateful to have found Dr. Kilcup and be his patient for the last couple of years. He has helped me restore my health back after being exposed to toxic mold for years. He helped identify and treat all of my symptoms I was experiencing and address the root problem. I was looking for the right person who could help me heal with natural therapies and supplements and Dr. Kilcup was the perfect fit. Every appointment and session was necessary and one step towards all the progress I made. Dr. Kilcup is a great functional medicine doctor who was also an advocate for my own health and well-being. I never received any care or attention to detail from other Doctors in past experiences except with Dr. Kilcup. Anyone who is seeking a holistic path towards healing or improving their own health should see him.
