Esquites Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Grill the Corn

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is slightly charred and cooked through. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Serrano-Lime Mayo

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped serrano peppers, fresh lime juice, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Cut the grilled corn kernels off the cob and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the serrano-lime mayo, crumbled cotija cheese, and chopped cilantro. Mix gently until the corn is well coated.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the mixture to a serving dish, sprinkle with Tajín seasoning, and serve warm or at room temperature.
