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!
