Boiled corn with butter is a simple yet incredibly delicious dish associated with street food in Mexico. In this cuisine, corn holds a central place as the base of many dishes. Tender, juicy kernels of corn boiled in hot water become soft and aromatic. After boiling, they are coated with melting butter that envelops each kernel, giving a rich, creamy flavor. A light sprinkle of salt enhances the natural sweetness of the corn, creating a perfect balance. This dish is great as a standalone snack or as a side to meat and vegetable dishes. Its simplicity makes it accessible while its taste is unforgettable.
