Ah, for the multitude of sweet, smoky, and savory flavors contained within a single serving of elote. Arguably one of the more successful street foods in all of global cuisine, elotes as we most commonly know them today (grilled corn with butter or mayonnaise, cheese, lime juice, and chile powder) originated in Mexico, with roots to pre-Columbian indigenous cuisine—the world “elote” comes from the Nahuatl “elotitutl,” for “tender cob,” in fact. Drawing inspiration from this utterly iconic antojito, Trader Joe’s Nuts About Elote Mix is made with crispy, puffed corn kernels and roasted cashews, dusted a cheesy, peppery, elote-evoking seasoning blend, along with pepitas and pretzel sticks to provide some complementary crunch.

Ideal for snacking on while catching the big game, enjoying a tall, frosty beer, or simply lounging about on a weekend, Trader Joe’s Nuts About Elote Mix combines the sweetness of corn on the cob, the spice of chile powder, and the zesty zing of citrus in a whole new, crispy-crunchy context. It makes an excellent hors d’oeuvre for a cocktail party, and serves sensationally well alongside a cheese plate.
