Mexican street corn, also known as Elote, is a popular street food in Mexico, often sold by vendors at festivals and soccer games. It's traditionally grilled and served on the cob, topped with a creamy sauce, cotija cheese, and chili powder. This salad version captures all the classic flavors of Elote, but in a convenient and easy-to-serve form. It is said that the Aztecs were the first to start cultivating corn in the pre-Columbian era, and it quickly became a staple in their diet.
