A popular street food in Mexico, this easy to make dish is crunchy, spicy, zesty, sweet, and salty, all at the same time. You might have tried Mexican Style corn on the cob before, well Elote en Vaso uses all the same ingredients just served in a glass instead, making it easier and neater to eat. And easier to medicate.
Of course, the street vendors don’t make Elote en Vaso with cannabis butter, but you can at home. In fact, even without the cannabis added, I prefer this dish made at home where I can use real butter as the street vendors always use cheaper margarine. So made at home the flavor is even better!
Feel free to play with the proportions of ingredients to find a flavor mix you like. If you can’t find Mexican Cotija cheese, grated Parmesan makes a good substitute.
This dish makes a great way to use your marijuana butter. Check out my Making Marijuana Butter tutorial for directions on how to make it.

I was inspired to create this recipe after enjoying the street food near my part-time home in Ensenada, Baja, California, Mexico. Learn more about this fascinating area in the article I wrote about during an exploratory visit.
