One of my friends is playing a Way of the Four Elements monk with the Elemental Attunement and Fists of Unbroken Air elemental disciplines and is trying to boost his elemental prowess with Elemental Adept, but he doesn't know if it's legal. This is the PHB on elemental casting:
Casting Elemental Spells. Some elemental disciplines allow you to cast
spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting. To cast
one of these spells, you use its casting time and other rules, but you
don't need to provide material components for it.
To me it makes it seem like this counts as being able to cast spells, but I don't know for sure.
So, do feats that have the "Prerequisite: Able to cast at least one spell" work on a Way of the Four Elements monk?

If they choose any of the Elemental Disciplines that grant spellcasting then yes.
In order to meet the requirement for Elemental Adept you must be able to cast at least one spell. That means that you have to actually currently be able to cast it.
Some elemental disciplines allow you to cast spells.
Thus, if you choose an elemental discipline that lets you cast a spell, then that absolutely counts for the requirement to be able to cast a spell. If you choose only disciplines that don't give you the ability to cast a spell (and you have nothing else that gives you this ability) then you do not qualify for the feat.
To be clear, simply being a Way of the Four Elements monk is not enough, you must have an ability from something that allows you to currently cast a spell. Choosing one of the elemental disciplines that grants you a spell is a great way to do this.
You'll know the disciplines that allow you to cast a spell because they will say some variation on:
You can [...] cast [spell name]
Currently, your friend does not qualify for the feat
You say that your friend currently only has two elemental disciplines: Elemental Attunement and Fists of Unbroken Air. However, neither of these grants the ability to cast any spell, so they do not qualify for the feat currently.

Thank you, I'll tell him that he shouldn't take it until he gets a discipline that says "to cast".

It might be worth noting that Elemental Adept only benefits spells' damage rolls, so there'd be no benefit in taking it without the ability to cast spells anyway (as Ryan Thompson's comment on the question itself notes).
