Mexican Street Corn Casserole is a modern twist on the classic Mexican street food, elote. This dish originated in Mexico, where street vendors would grill corn and slather it with a creamy, tangy mixture of mayonnaise, sour cream, and spices. The casserole version became popular in the United States, with chefs and home cooks adding cheese, peppers, and other ingredients to create a rich and flavorful side dish. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in Mexican restaurants across the US, especially in regions with a strong Mexican culinary influence, such as California, Texas, and the Southwest. The key to a great Mexican Street Corn Casserole is using fresh, sweet corn and balancing the creamy, cheesy elements with the smoky, spicy flavors of traditional elote. Some chefs also add a squeeze of lime juice or a sprinkle of cilantro to brighten the dish. Whether served as a side dish at a barbecue or as a main course for a vegetarian meal, Mexican Street Corn Casserole is a delicious and satisfying dish that celebrates the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine.
