Is Mexican Street Corn (Elote) made with seed oils?
Depends
Depends on the mayo and cheese used.
Elote is grilled corn brushed with mayonnaise, cotija cheese, and chili powder, and most bottled mayo is soybean or canola based. The tracker estimates around 6g of seed-oil PUFA for one ear.
How to keep it seed-oil-free
Ask for it made with avocado-oil mayo or sour cream, or make it at home with your own clean mayo.
