Street corn, also known as <\/span>elote<\/span><\/i>, is a culturally significant food in Mexico \u2014 largely because of corn\u2019s deep historical roots throughout the country. Modern corn traces back to the indigenous cultivation of maize thousands of years ago. Maize was a staple in Aztec and Mayan diets, used to make many traditional foods we still love today, like tortillas and tamales.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cElote\u201d (which literally means \u201ccorn cob\u201d in the Aztec language Nahuatl) became popular as a street food in the 20th century. Today, <\/span>eloteros<\/span><\/i> (street corn vendors) are a familiar sight in Mexican cities and towns. Elote is an affordable, on-the-go snack enjoyed by nearly everyone \u2014 and its popularity continues to grow around the world. Traditionally, it\u2019s served hot off the grill and topped with creamy mayo, cheese, a squeeze of lime, and a sprinkle of chili powder. Yum!<\/span><\/p>\n Our <\/span>Mexican Street Corn Chopped Salad Kit<\/b> takes those flavours to the next level by adding green leaf lettuce, shredded broccoli and cabbage, carrots, smoked paprika cornbread crumbles, green onion, crispy corn, parmesan, and our signature creamy elote dressing.
