Esquites

Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chips

    Place the tortilla chips in a serving bowl and set aside.

Queso Dip

  1. 2

    Make the Queso Dip

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and milk. Stir until the cheeses melt and the mixture is smooth.

  2. 3

    Add Flavor

    Stir in the diced jalapeño, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl.

Guacamole

  1. 4

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

  2. 5

    Mash and Mix

    Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth. Add lime juice, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and salt. Mix well to combine.

  3. 6

    Add Tomatoes

    Gently fold in the diced tomato. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Esquites

  1. 7

    Cook the Corn

    If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cobs. If using frozen corn, thaw it first. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the corn for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

  2. 8

    Mix the Esquites

    In a mixing bowl, combine cooked corn, mayonnaise, crumbled cotija cheese, lime juice, chili powder, and salt. Stir until everything is well mixed.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Transfer the esquites to a serving bowl alongside the queso dip and guacamole.
