Elote (Mexican Street Corn)

Elote is safe and delicious while breastfeeding! This classic Mexican street corn topped with mayo, cotija cheese, chili, and lime is a nutritious and satisfying snack.

Elote is corn on the cob coated with mayo or crema, cotija cheese, chili powder, and lime juice. All ingredients are breastfeeding-safe. Cotija is an aged, firm Mexican cheese that is typically made from pasteurized milk in the US. The chili won't bother your baby through breast milk. A great street food choice!
