High-Protein Elote in a Cup

Ingredients

• 1 cup Corn kernels (Cooked and drained, or thawed if frozen; approximately 150 g)
• 0.75 cup Greek yogurt (Preferably plain, nonfat or low-fat)
• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (Finely grated; amount not specified in the source, so use to taste)
• 1 tsp Tajín seasoning (Adjust to taste; the post description says Tajín, while the transcript appears to misidentify it as tahini)

Steps

1. 1

   If using frozen corn, thaw it completely. If using canned corn, drain it well. For the best texture, use corn that is cooked and cooled to room temperature or chilled.

2. 2

   Place the corn kernels in a mixing bowl. Add the Greek yogurt and stir until the kernels are evenly coated in the creamy yogurt.

3. 3

   Add the grated Parmesan cheese and mix thoroughly so it is distributed throughout the corn. The mixture should be creamy with small flecks of cheese.

4. 4

   Season with Tajín and stir again. Taste and add more Tajín or Parmesan if desired.

5. 5

   Serve immediately in a cup or bowl, chilled or at room temperature. The creator suggests pairing it with a bag of Quest chips for a more substantial meal.

Notes

The source describes this as a low-calorie, high-protein alternative to elote. The creator mentions that serving it with Quest chips makes the meal approximately 350 calories and 39 grams of protein; those chips are a suggested pairing rather than part of the four-ingredient recipe. Amounts for corn, Parmesan, and Tajín were not specified, so they are estimated for one serving.
