Elote

In Mexico and many Mesoamerican countries, elote refers to corn on the cob as a common salty snack. The ears are seasoned with spices such as epazote and slathered with butter or mayonnaise, dusted with grated cheese and, in the case of Mexico, enhanced with chile powder, lemon juice, and salt. Corn removed from the cob and similarly seasoned is generally known as esquites.
