Choclo con queso

Choclo con queso is a Peruvian meal that is often consumed as a snack, an appetizer, or a side dish. Peruvian choclo is a type of corn with large kernels, nutty flavor, and chewy texture. When paired with creamy and salty cheese and a dab of butter on top, it results in choclo con queso (lit. corn with cheese).

Although it can be found in restaurants, this delicious snack is most commonly bought from street vendors. In some modern interpretations, the dish can also be made into a baked casserole with added onions, cumin, flour, and milk.
