Elote Asado is a beloved staple of Mexico City's bustling street stalls, where its smoky aroma lures locals and visitors alike. In this home version, the dish carries the essence of its street origins, focusing on bold flavors and generous portions that echo the spirit of a family cook's abundant table.
